Licensing restrictions more often than not limit the sharing and disseminating of electronic/digital materials between institutions as a whole e-book.

If you put in an Interlibrary Loan request for a whole "e-bookONLY", we will manually review your request and assess whether we can find a whole e-book from a lender who has permissions to share, consider a purchase (if the book or your status meets our collection development criteria), offer a print option instead, or suggest that you review the content and resubmit the request as a book chapter.
