Document Delivery & Interlibrary Loan

For Law Faculty & Staff

UW Affiliated patrons may use the catalog to request an article or chapter scan be e-mailed to them. They can also choose to have a book delivered to the library of their choice.

If an item is not available at the UW-Madison libraries, Interlibrary Loan is available for scholarly requests.

Please contact docdel@law.wisc.edu for assistance or answers to questions regarding Interlibrary Loan services.

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