Request Materials

EOU students, faculty, and staff can request items owned by EOU as well as items from Summit Libraries and libraries worldwide through Interlibrary Loan. When searching for items, we recommend that you first try EOU Library, then Summit Libraries, then Sage or WorldCat catalogs.

All requested items can either be picked up in person or mailed to your home address. Please note that for mailed items, you will be responsible for return postage. Instructions for requesting items are listed below. Please contact us with any questions.

How To Request Items from EOU

1. Begin by searching for your topic or item in Primo.

2. Click on the title of the item you want. Sign in to Primo to access the request option.

3. In the Find & Request section choose the link that says “Request from EOU”.

4. Fill out the request form.

If you want to pick up the item at the library select the EOU Library pickup location and you will receive an email when the item is ready for pick up (usually within 1 business day).
If you are an online student or unable to pick up the item, select the Home Address pickup location. The item will be mailed to the mailing address listed in your EOU account. If you need the item sent to a different address, please specify this in the comments section. You will be responsible for return postage when sending the item back.

Once you have filled out the form click on the Request button to submit the request.

5. Once your item has been processed, you will receive an email to your EOU email address with further instructions for pickup or confirmation that your item has been mailed to you.

How To Request Items from Summit

Items in Primo that are owned by other Summit libraries can also be requested. These items will be sent to the EOU Library and then can be picked up or mailed to your home address if you are an online student. To request a Summit book click on the “Find & Request” link for an item and then the “Request from Summit” link.

If you are not signed in then you will need to do so with your Mountie Pass. Once you are signed in, click on the “Request from Summit” link.

Submit the request form to complete your request. You will receive an email when your item is ready to be picked up at the library. If you are an online student, we will send your item(s) to your home address, and you will be responsible for return postage.

If you live near a Summit Library you can get a Summit Visiting Patron card and use that to request books so you can pick up and drop off at that library. To set up a Visiting Patron account you need to go to the Circulation Desk at one of the Summit Libraries and tell them you are an EOU student and would like to set up a Summit Visiting Patron Account. Then you will use that account to request items through that library’s system.

How To Request Items from Other Libraries

If EOU and Summit Libraries don’t have what you are looking for you can search in two other catalogs and then request the item through our Interlibrary Loan service.

Option 1: Sage

Sage is a group of public and school libraries in eastern Oregon. Items available in Sage can be requested through Interlibrary Loan.

1. Search the Sage Catalog

2. If you locate the item, fill out the Interlibrary Loan Request Form with the relevant information. You will receive an email when your item is ready to be picked up at the library. If you are an online student, we will send your item(s) to your home address, and you will be responsible for return postage.

Option 2: WorldCat

WorldCat is a database of items from libraries around the world. Items available in WorldCat can be requested through Interlibrary Loan.
