There may be public or academic libraries in your local area that have research materials that could be of value to you in your educational endeavors.
If this is the case, please check their holdings and use what is available there first.

*Note: Book Policy Change Coming. Soon books will be available for ISU distance graduate students living in any U.S. or Canada location. More information later.
The Oboler Library in Pocatello does not currently send or deliver books outside of Boise or Idaho Falls, Idaho.
Non-Boise Area or Idaho Falls ISU distance students should contact their local public library and request an interlibrary loan for needed books.
Your area library will arrange to obtain a book loan from another library for you.
