Options to help you access print books:

  • Vancouver Public Library: It's often worth checking if the public library has a copy of the book you need.
  • Community borrower cards: Vancouver students may consider a community borrower card from UBC or SFU.
  • Suggest a purchase: Suggestions for new library acquisitions are welcomed. Please e-mail vanlibrary@adler.edu to recommend a purchase.

**At this time, the Vancouver Campus is not able to request print books through interlibrary loan. You can, however, request single book chapters or articles. To do that, log in to your ILLiad account.**

Be sure to ask the librarian for help finding other resources on your topic.
