Interlibrary Loan Policies

UW students, faculty, and staff can borrow materials from other libraries through the Interlibrary Loan service. There is no charge for this service.

Interlibrary Loan staff will attempt to borrow all requested materials, but are limited by other libraries' ability to lend. This office complies with the Copyright Law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code).

Loan periods, library-use-only restrictions, and long overdue and lost bills are set by the lending library. The UW Libraries assess a $10 billing fee for long overdue and lost interlibrary loan items.

• UW students, faculty and staff can request books, journal articles, media and other materials regardless of where it is available.
• Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a free service to students, faculty, and staff.
• Create an Interlibrary Loan (ILL) account with your WyoWeb username and password. Contact ILL by email or call (307) 766-5168.
• Click the Interlibrary Loan icon wherever you see it: Citation Finder, article databases, WorldCat, Quick Search, or the Libraries home page.
• Patrons are notified by email or text when material is ready to be picked up at the pick-up location of choice.
• Select preferred pick-up location when creating an Interlibrary Loan account: Coe Library, Brinkerhoff Geology Library, Learning Resource Center (LRC) or the Law Library.
• Materials are mailed to distance and off-campus patrons.
