Interlibrary Loan (ILL) locates and obtains materials for our faculty, staff, and students that are not available in our collections. This service provides access to additional resources from participating libraries that support the same delivery times and generous loan periods. A search in Research@UWW will offer options for requesting content not found in our collections.
Please note you will need to sign into Research@UWW by clicking Sign in at the upper right to access the request options.
