Finding new hard copy books about Governments, Politics, Economics can be tricky at the library because collections are dated and have not been updated because the emphasis is on making e-resources available to students at Ottawa University online. The resources below will help you to find the limited resources that are available on the shelf at the physical library. If you find that you will need an Interlibrary Loan because a book you need is not available, please contact Megan Love at ill@ottawa.edu
Please note that book resources are not available via ILL to students at a distance because of checkout time limitations. As a result, only students at the College may request ILL books and students at a distance will need to contact their public library for Book resources. Article resources are much easier to acquire for students at the sites and can be requested at ill@ottawa.edu
