Request Electronic version of Purdue Owned Print Title

If you find an item where the library has a physical copy, but you would like an electronic version of the book, you can place a request through the Library Reading List.

Search for the item and once you locate it, you can add it to a section. If we do not have an electronic copy, you will need to edit the item and add the purchase request tag.
