Does it take a little more planning and a bit of effort on your part? Yep, it sure does. It will typically take us longer to get a book to you than it will articles, but books provide a different type of resource to support your research and should not be overlooked.
You would be responsible for getting the book back to us, of course. (See the Interlibrary Loan tab for more info!)
