What Do You Do If the Library Does Not Own the Book or Article that You Need?
- If the MSOE Library does not own a book or an article that you need, generally the item can be obtained through Interlibrary Loan. The library will attempt to obtain via Interlibrary Loan any book or article requested by a student or member of the faculty and staff of MSOE. Occasionally, the library is unable to obtain an item due to such factors as excessive cost or unavailability. In this case, library staff will work with customers in the effort to locate equivalent resources.
- Place interlibrary loan requests with ClioWeb, our interlibrary loan interface which allows you to place requests, check the status of requests, and keep track of due dates on interlibrary loan materials.
Click here to login into ClioWeb. Use your MSOE username and password for the login. - If you use Interlibrary Loan, try to initiate requests as soon as you possibly can. The average turnaround time for materials is about seven days.
- With InfoPass, you visit local libraries yourself and check out books. Ask a librarian about InfoPass.
- MSOE has a reciprocal borrowing agreement with the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) Library. If MCW has a book you are interested in, you may go to their library and check the item(s) out using your MSOE ID card. The books must be returned to MCW by their assigned due date. This does not include journals, which do not circulate.
