Students, staff, and faculty (including emeriti) are eligible to use Interlibrary Loan and UW Borrowing. Students must be enrolled for at least one credit (thesis-only students please contact the Graduate School about enrolling in TRDIS 700 - Library Research).
No, Interlibary Loan and UW Borrowing are free to all eligible users. However, any fines related to late, lost, or damaged items will be billed to the requesting patron.
In order to get the item you request it must be:
No. Course textbooks must be rented from Instructional Resources Service (IRS)/Textbooks or, if required by your instructor, purchased. Please note that Interlibrary Loan cannot provide book loans for an entire term.
Yes! Our service includes (actually, it starts with) items held at the University Library. We will scan print journal articles and book chapters from our collection and electronically deliver them to your ILLiad account. We will also pull requested books and AV items from our shelves and check them out to you at the Circulation Desk. We'll send you an email notice when the requested item is available for download or pickup.
Interlibrary Loan supplies copies (articles, chapters, etc.) and loans (books, AV, etc.) of items held by the University Library (campus document delivery) and a global network of more than 70,000 lending libraries and document vendors.
UW Borrowing is the UW System library network. UW Borrowing libraries share catalog and patron information, which allows patrons to submit requests for books and AV from any UW System library. Requested loans are delivered via courier to UW Stout within 3-5 business days.
Use ILLiad to submit all copy requests. Loan requests can be submitted from ILLiad or Search@UW. ILLiad requests can be entered manually or from the Find It! button in databases (for articles and book chapters) and WorldCat (for books and AV). You can also configure Google Scholar to display Find It! and link search results to our local holdings in ILLiad.
Use Search@UW to submit loan requests (UW Borrowing does not support copy requests):
On the menu screen, click "Pending Requests". If the request appears there, it was accepted.
If "Your request was successfully placed" displays after sending your request, it was accepted.
If you have trouble submitting a reqest in either Interlibrary Loan or Search@UW, please contact the ILL office at 715-232-1112 or docdel@uwstout.edu.
Most items arrive within 1-5 business days. Some Interlibrary Loan items can take 1-2 weeks or longer. Item availability, lender policies and processing time, as well as transit time, can each delay the overall turnaround time. If you need an item by a specific date, please be sure to include that information in your request!
Yes, but you must request from ILLiad (not UW Borrowing) so Stout library staff can field your request appropriately. Confirm your mailing address by including it in the notes of your request. Your request will not be processed if your mailing address is not provided in the notes.
Contact the ILL office at docdel@uwstout.edu or 715-232-1112.
You can renew Stout items and items from other UW libraries online via My Account.
My Account is your primary library patron account. It lets you view current transactions and due dates, track pending requests, and renew items from Stout or other UW libraries.
ILLiad is the software we use to facilitate the Fetch it for me service. ILLiad provides eligible users with an online account for submitting requests, downloading article and chapter scans, and viewing current and past Fetch it for me transactions.
No. ILLiad and My Account are different software systems. Transactions placed in one system can be viewed only in that system.
