Applied Linguistics: Books & eBooks

Results include both print and ebooks, available from Portland State Library and the Summit Libraries.

Please note that if you are accessing an ebook from off-campus, you will have to log in with your ODIN account.

When you find an item in the catalog, if you see Summit Libraries under Libraries that own this item:, that means that the book is not in our collection but is held at one of our partner libraries. You can request the book by clicking on the book's title and then selecting the Request Summit Item link on the next page. It takes approximately five days to receive an item through Summit.

If a book you need for your research is not available in our collection or Summit, we can get it for you! Just request it through Interlibrary Loan. Please note: it can take up to 12 days to receive a book through interlibrary loan.
