Generally, electronic resources are licensed for authorized users at a specific institution, so ebook links will not work for you unless you have found a WUSTL ebook record in the MOBIUS catalog.

If you find an ebook record that does not work for you, search again by title or author to see if there is a paper copy at another MOBIUS library. Paper books can be REQUESTED. When there is no copy available from MOBIUS, you may submit a request to Interlibrary Loan to borrow the book from another library.  Sometimes chapters from an ebook can be loaned on Interlibrary Loan, but entire ebooks are not usually available.
