Request an ebook purchase

If a book is currently not available through Search@UW, and you feel that the library should own this book as an ebook, please fill out a purchase request form and choose "electronic" as the format.

If you simply wish to access the book, please check Search@UW first. You may put in an interlibrary loan request in if we do not have access to the book.
