How can I get journal articles or books not available through the Library?
- The MSOE Library provides free interlibrary loan services for articles and books not available from MSOE or MCW. Check out Borrow From Other Libraries for information on how to request items.
- Another option is to request an InfoPass at the Circulation Desk. This pass can be taken to a lending library and used to check out items we do not have. To see which libraries in the area own a specific title, search WISCAT (The WISconsin CATalog). "Locations" lists call numbers and lending library information needed for InfoPass.
To access these databases from off-campus simply click on the direct link to the database. When promoted input your MSOE username and password. Make sure you are not logged into MyMSOE, inside.msoe.edu, or the VPN when accessing databases off campus.
