Book & Article Delivery

Need a book or an article that isn't available online? We can help with that!

You can request any physical book or media owned by UW Oshkosh Libraries or in the UW System via interlibrary loan, and we'll mail it to your home! There are no charges for this service, although you will be responsible for return postage. If you choose to visit any of the UW Oshkosh Libraries, you may check out materials with your university ID (Titan Card) or any photo ID.
