Print material immediately accessible (i.e., owned by Purdue and not checked out) is usually available to students in 3 business days. If we need to order physical material, it could take 2 weeks or more.
Please be aware that if you do not send the requests at least two weeks in advance, there is no guarantee that the material will be available the first week of classes.
Please send any questions, issues, or requests to our email

Library Reading Lists are an online application that supports the creating and managing of course reading within Brightspace. Watch the video from Ex Libris about Library Reading Lists (Leganto) to learn more!
Instructors are encouraged to take advantage of our Library Reading List tool for course reserves (example below), integrated with Brightspace. Our priority is to provide DRM Free electronic materials. We will purchase print materials if electronic is not available.
All Library Reading Lists are subject to copyright (see copyright tab for more information).
