Borrowing Materials From Other Libraries

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) enables students, faculty, and staff to borrow materials not owned by UW-Baraboo/Sauk County. Before making a request always check the UW Colleges Online Library Catalog to see if we already own the item. Note that all correspondence, from the ILL office, will be sent to your official UW Colleges email account.

To Borrow Items From Another UW System Campus

From a UW Colleges campus The library catalog (http://collib.wisconsin.edu/) contains the library records of all 13 UW Colleges Libraries. If you would like to borrow an item from another two-year campus,open the item record and click the "Place Requests" button on the top navigation bar. You will be prompted to enter your student ID number and last name. Make sure to select the campus where you would like to pick up the item. You should soon receive an email confiming your request. The item will usually arrive at our campus in 2-5 days. Stop by the front desk with your student ID to check it out.

From a UW Four-Year Campus click on the "More Libraries" button from any search screen in the library catalog, select "All UW System/Universal Borrowing Libraries" and run your search. Follow the same procedure as above to place a request.

To Borrow from Outside the UW System/Traditional Interlibrary Loan (ILLiad)

ILLiad is a system you can use to request Inter-Library Loan items, including journal articles, that are not available at UW-Baraboo/Sauk County or in the UW System. ILLiad also allows you to track and renew your requests online (click on the ILLiad link to get started). The amount of time it takes to receive materials from other libraries varies. The majority of requests are filled within one to two weeks. ILL materials may be picked up at the library front desk. Journal articles are delivered electronically to UW colleges email, and may be viewed, printed or downloaded. There is no charge for this service. We do our best to fill all ILL requests, but some items may not be available depending on the owning library's policies.
