Q. How do I request a book as an off campus student or instructor?

Western Libraries will cover the cost of sending books to students, faculty, and staff in Outreach & Continuing Education programs off the main Bellingham campus. We can only send the books to your home address, as shown in your Web4U account. You will need to cover the cost of shipping the book back, or find a way for the book to get back to Western Libraries by asking someone you know going to Bellingham or dropping it off at one of our Orbis-Cascade Alliance partner libraries.
