Copy Service FAQs

What is the copy service for students?

The Al Harris Library will send you journal articles and book excerpts by email, fax or postal mail if you're a SWOSU student and you live too far away to easily visit the library. The Copy Service for Students cost is 10 cents per page. There's no additional charge for postage or fax delivery.

Who is eligible to use the copy service?

Due to limited library staffing, we only offer the copy service to students who live outside these local Zip codes and communities:

Faculty and staff: please see the Copy Service for Faculty and Staff page.

What can I order?

You can order copies of articles from journals, magazines, and newspapers owned by the Al Harris Library. You can also order excerpts from books if you're able to tell us the page numbers you need. To find out if the library owns the materials you want, check the Periodicals List and the library catalog. To request an article or book that isn't owned by the library see the Interlibrary Loan page.
