If McIntyre Library doesn't have what you need:
- Journal Articles: We can request copies of journal articles from other libraries. It may take anywhere from a couple of days up to 2 weeks to get the article.
- Books: Through Interlibrary Loan Department we can get some books from other libraries and mail them to you. However, it may be faster to go through your local library. Please check with your local public library about getting a book you need through their Interlibrary Loan service.
- If you live near any of the UW campuses, Universal Borrowing (UB) is fast way of getting books available at any UW System library.
Your Email Address
- Journal articles, fees, and overdue notices are emailed to your UW-Eau Claire address. If you prefer to use another email address, you may request to have your UW-Eau Claire email forwarded to that email address.
