Albertsons Library provides some services that are particularly geared towards your needs. For more information about how to access library services or resources from a distance, email Kim Leeder or call (208) 426-1621. Among other things, the library offers:

• a vast array of online resources, including e-journals and a growing collection of e-books.
• in-person or online instruction (text, chat, or otherwise) for your class.
  
• shipping of books and articles to your home or office outside the Treasure Valley (return shipping for books is not included).

What else do you need? Let me know and we can figure out how to make it work.

If the book is...

• Owned by Albertsons Library: click the "Hold/Request" button when looking at any item in our catalog to have the print item mailed (How-to Slideshow).

• Not owned by Albertsons Library: submit an Interlibrary Loan request. Be sure to indicate in the comments that you are a distance faculty member and need it mailed to you. This service is currently only available to distance faculty in Idaho.

• For more information about distance requests, visit the Interlibrary Loan page for Distance Faculty & Students.
  

Unfortunately the library does not cover return postage for books sent to distance faculty at this time.
