Online users (Fuller students enrolled in online or regional campus programs, Fuller faculty members teaching at regional campuses, and Fuller staff employed at regional campuses) may request books that are held at the Pasadena main campus library but not held in their regional campus library. Online users may request these books through the online Books-by-Mail request form, and the books will be mailed to the user's home address.

Please note: Due to resource limitations, we are unable to provide this service to patrons living within a 30 mile radius of the Fuller Pasadena campus.

We also cannot mail books to patrons living outside the United States.

There are quarterly item limits for requests. 5 items per quarter can be requested by students in master's-level degree programs (MDiv, MTS, MATM, MAGML, MAC, MAJA, MSMFT). 10 items per quarter can be requested by students in advanced degree programs (DMin, PhD, ThM, DGL, PsyD, DMF). Patrons in non-degree programs cannot receive books-by-mail.
