Library Services for EWU @ Bellevue College

Having problems requesting items via Summit? Please contact the JFK Circulation Desk at 509.359.7888, circulation@ewu.edu, or in person on the main level. 

The best method for finding eBooks is to search the library catalog. Follow these steps:

• From the advanced search page, select EWU Libraries Only, enter your keywords (or title) and select eBooks under the Material Type category. 
• Once you do your search and find the item you want, you can click on the title to see it. 
• Scroll down to the View Online section.  When you are off campus, then you will need to sign in to see the links to access the eBook (see the note below for more info.). 
• If you have more questions about accessing eBooks, see our eBooks page.

*Note: If you have not created your EWU Single Sign-On password, or you need to reset it, go to accounts.ewu.edu.  If you need more help, please contact the EWU IT Help Desk during regular business hours.

EWU patrons who are outside the local (Cheney/Spokane) area (see the Summit Services page for who qualifies) can get library materials delivered directly to them.  Follow these steps to get materials:

• Search the library catalog to find the materials you need. 
• When you find the item you want,  click on the title to open up the record.
• Under the Get It section, log-in using your campus Single Sign-On (SSO) credentials.
• For EWU materials, click on Request EWU Item.  If we don't own it, then click on Place Summit Request.
•  In the box for Non-JFK Pickup/Delivery, write the phrase Home Delivery.  It will let our staff know you need our home delivery service.
• Our library staff will contact you via your EWU email to confirm your status and the address where you want to item delivered.
• The library will send the item to you via FedEx and supply you with an pre-addressed label to return the item back to us.
• Note: Summit materials are typically sent to Cheney first (typically 4-8 business days) and the item will then be mailed to your address.  Please take these time frames into consideration in your own research timelines.
• For more details, please see the Summit Services pages.

You can renew library materials online through the library catalog.  Follow these steps to do so.

• Under the pulldown menu for your name, select the My Loans option.
• Eligible items you have checked out can be renewed on the My Loans page.
• Wait until a few days before the books are due to renew them in order to get the most time out of your renewal.
