Books

Requesting Books -  SBTS books can be mailed to current distance students inside the United States. Please fill out the Book Request form located at: http://library.sbts.edu/patron-services/distributed-learning-services/book-request/.

Books not owned by us - Can be requested through Interlibrary Loan.

Books that are checked out - Follow general guidelines for requesting books. We will place a hold on the item and ship it to you when it arrives. Please do not place holds on items yourself.

Items that cannot be sent - Periodicals, reference books, microfilm, microfiche, brittle books, restricted items, and materials in our special collections.

Turn-around time - Generally, requests are processed and sent in 24 hours. Items are sent via library rate which is slower than regular mail, so please allow time for shipping.

Returning books - You are responsible for the safe return of all books. Please send only 5 books per box. We recommend you insure and trace your package although this is not required.

Please return books to:

2825 Lexington Road

Requesting Articles - Please search our databases for full-text articles before requesting a scan. Copyright guidelines will be followed so some requests may not be processed.
