Document Delivery

For Law Faculty & Staff

Request a book, article, etc. to be delivered in print or electronically by sending an email to docdel@law.wisc.edu.

If the item is not available at the UW-Madison libraries, our staff will request it from another source.  This service is available only to UW Law School faculty and staff.

If this is a rush request or specific citation information is unknown, please contact a reference librarian.
