Students and faculty enrolled in programs off campus are eligible to request delivery of articles, books, and videos from University Libraries. NOTE: see box below for eligibility and restrictions. This service is usually free of charge to WMU students, faculty and staff. Use the Interlibrary Loan system to request materials in the WMU collections as well as those that we may borrow on your behalf from other libraries.

Journal articles are generally scanned and sent to your email box within a few short days of request. Articles from WMU collections usually arrive within 24 hours.

Books take a bit longer, since they are sent via UPS.  Normally, books arrive in about a week.

Videos from the Instructional Video Collection may also be requested through this service, and will usually arrive in about a week.

If there is not link to full text access you will see a link underneath it that says "Get it elsewhere."  Just login in with your BroncoNetID and password and let the system do the rest.
