Dear Patron
Thank you for your inquiry about borrowing books from the Internet Archive. Unfortunately, our university library is not affiliated with the Internet Archive, so we cannot directly lend you books from their collection.
However, there are a few options you can explore:
- Did you check our library's online catalog? You might be able to find a full-text version of the book you need. Access it here via UWILinC: https://global.uwi.edu/library You'll need your UWI credentials (student ID and password) to access full-text resources.
- You may be able to purchase a new or used copy of the book from online retailers like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or AbeBooks.
- If the book is available at another UWI library, we may be able to obtain required pages for you taking into consideration copyright limitations. Please provide us with the title, author, and publication details so we can check.
- Some books on the Internet Archive may be available for digital lending or purchase. You can check the book's page on the Internet Archive for more information.
I hope this helps!
Please let me know if you have any other questions and feel free to contact your local librarian here: https://global.uwi.edu/library/St_Lucia
We appreciate your feedback and look forward to serving you again.
All the best!
