Accessing textbooks, library materials and equipment:

Textbook distribution has begun!  All Textbooks will be picked-up from the building loading dock at the back of the R.S. Swanson Library and Learning Center.  Do Not enter the building, no textbook service is provided inside the library building - please go to the outside back of the building.

If you are living in the dorms, pick up your textbooks on the day you move in.  Housing staff will provide information on when you should pick up your textbooks.

If you are living off campus, please go directly to the back of the building to pick up your textbooks through Sunday, Sept. 6^th.  Beginning Monday, Sept. 7^th, students will line up at the front of the library, provide their Stout ID, then continue around the outside of the library to the north loading dock to pick up their textbooks.  Questions can be sent by emailing textbooks@uwstout.edu.  Please be patient, we are very busy.

UW Requests are now available.  In Search@UW change the right drop-down to UW Books/Media to request items from other UW System libraries.

Interlibrary Loan of digital materials (articles and book chapters) is available https://wisconsin.hosts.atlas-sys.com/illiad/GZS/, however there may be delays.

Return of textbooks, library materials, and equipment:

Textbooks and library books can be returned 24/7 to the library bookdrop on the east side of the glass entrance.  Do not return textbooks to 3rd floor, they must be quarantined upon return.

Equipment must be returned in-person during library hours.

Textbooks and library items are due on September 8, 2020.  However, the earlier return of items will help us be ready for fall semester.
