Home Delivery

If you are a distance education student living in Canada or the United States and do not live local to a UBC campus you are also eligible for delivery of print books to your home free of charge. See the Borrowing Books section below to learn how to register for this service. Journal articles are delivered online. See the Requesting Journal Articles section below for more details.

If you live in Canada there is no cost to you to return your Library materials. If you reside in the US you are responsible for the cost of returning materials to the Library.

  • Students living outside Canada or the US are not eligible for home delivery of UBC library materials.
    • If you are not eligible for home delivery contact your local public library to see if you can use its Inter Library Loan service to obtain your course materials.
    • Another option is to check the listings at Abe Books or Amazon to see if the items you need are available at a reasonable price. In many instances purchasing your materials would be considerably cheaper than the cost of shipping them to and from a distant library.
    • If you have tried both options mentioned above and are still having difficulty acquiring the material(s) you need, contact your course instructor to see if an alternate reading might be available. You can also contact the staff at ILL Lending to see if they can provide further assistance.
