When off-campus, you will be prompted to log in with your UWW NetID & password, which allows access from anywhere. If you have issues with logging in, please first check our Troubleshooting page.
You may also want to consider using the Virtual Desktop service through gateway.uww.edu, which basically logs you in to a wired-in desktop computer on campus. Directions here.
Most articles are available full-text online in our databases for free.
Look for PDF full text if available. You may have to click on the purple and white button to go to another database first. If we do not have full text, the Find It button will provide you with a link to Interlibrary Loan.
If you want an article that we do not have, you can request that for free via InterLibrary Loan (ILL). Directions here.
If you start your searches in Google Scholar, be sure to link your search results to Andersen Library first (directions here). This will give you free access to many more articles, as it will sense the journals to which we already subscribe.
If you want a print article in our campus library, graduate students are welcome to use the Document Delivery service to have the item scanned in and emailed to them for free. Directions here.
Contact the Interlibrary Loan Office at 262-472-5524 or via e-mail at libill@uww.edu with any questions regarding ILL or Document Delivery.
You can check out an unlimited number of items, many of them for a whole semester at once. View checkout periods here.
If you want a book that is held at another UW System library, you can request that for free via UW Request. In any Research@UWW record that says it is not at our library, sign in, then click on the UW Request link. Further directions here.
If you are a distance education student -- you live more than 30 miles from campus and do not have any on-campus classes -- you are welcome to use the Document Delivery service to have items (from Whitewater or from another campus) sent to your home address for free. (You will be responsible for the item’s postage, shipped with a tracking number, or delivery back to Andersen Library for returns.) Directions here.
If you want a book that is not held in the UW system, you can request that for free via InterLibrary Loan (ILL). Directions here.
Contact the Interlibrary Loan Office at 262-472-5524 or via e-mail at libill@uww.edu with any questions regarding ILL or Document Delivery.
