Interlibrary Loan

If we do not have immediate online access to an article sign in to the library catalog record for the item to request an electronic copy through interlibrary loan. You will receive a libraries-do-not-reply Document Delivery Notification(usually within a few hours) when it has been filled. 

Physical Library Access

The Health Sciences Library is located in the Kirk H. Schulz Academic Center(SAC) building on the second and third floors. Spokane students and faculty may access the library 24/7 with their CougarCard. Study rooms are available on the Health Sciences Library upper floor for small groups.

Find eBooks by limiting your search in SearchIT to Type:eBooks in the menu on the left side or search directly on publisher sites. Some institutional eBooks are limited use. Downloading limited use eBooks will prevent your colleagues from using them. By using them online instead of downloading you will provide greater access to everyone.

Publisher sites:

The interlibrary loan service allows students, faculty, and staff to acquire journal articles and books that are not immediately available through the WSU Health Sciences Library collection. Find the SearchIT catalog record for the item using the DOI/PMID lookup or search for the title. Login to the SearchIT catalog record for an item to quickly autofill the interlibrary loan request form. If you are unable to locate a catalog record for the item a blank form is linked below.
