I am a distance or online student — what library help do I get?

As a distance student, you can search electronic materials from anywhere using @LL Search on the library homepage, and schedule physical materials for pickup.

  • If Lesley does not own the full text of an article, request it through interlibrary loan. The distance guide notes that ILL requests take from 3 business days to 2 weeks to fill.
  • You can also ask the library to consider purchasing a new resource, with priority given to ebooks and streaming media for course materials. Checked-out materials can be returned to the library book drops listed on the linked guide.
