Q. I need a hard copy of a book, but the library only has the eBook. Can I request the print version?

Hello,

If you need the print version, we first recommend requesting via ILL on the print record (this can be found by scrolling down and clicking the "Explore Editions & Formats" tab, and then selecting a record that says "Print Book"). 

You can also place a manual request via your ILL Services Account. In the "Request Book or Other Loan" form, give as much citation information as possible, including the ISBN for the specific edition you desire.

• Be sure to enter "No" in the "accept alternate format" field.
• Add a note stating that you need a print copy in the Special Instructions field. 
• If you need a specific edition, you should also reply "No" to the "accept alternate edition" field.
