Find books at other UWs
Use Universal Borrowing (UB) to see what items other UW libraries own. Your TitanCard ID can be used as a library card at any of these libraries.

You can also use UB to request that books from any UW be sent to your local UW library for checkout (usually takes 2-4 days). See the UB help page for further instructions.

 

 

Delivery of books to off-campus students
Can't find it locally or online? Polk Library will mail books to students, faculty, and staff who do not regularly commute to campus. See the Delivery of Articles and Books page for details.

 

Does my local library have this?
If you need a book right away, check WorldCat to see if a library in your area has the book you are looking for (this searches college and public libraries across WI and the US). Click on the title in your results for a list of libraries near you that have a copy.

 

Request books from other libraries
If the book you need is not online or at Polk Library (check the catalog), you can request it through interlibrary loan (ILLiad). Items generally take 1-2 weeks to arrive. **Note: you must have a TitanCard to log into ILLiad - if you do not have one, please use the off-campus book request form instead.
