Requesting a Book

You will need to be logged into your Bookshare account. 

We appreciate when you search the collection before making a request. Here are some tips for best search practices.

Request a book using the book request form.  Title and/or ISBN are required; it is helpful if you have author, publisher and copyright year as well.  If we need additional information to fulfill your request, we'll contact you promptly.

How Do I Search the Bookshare Library?

You can choose to use the standard search box, which looks for your word or phrase in both the catalog record and in the text of the book itself.

You can also use the Advanced Search page to search within specific fields: title, author, publisher and synopsis, and narrow your results by language, category or grade level.

You can browse by category, author, special collection and other grouping.
