Resource and Interlibrary Services

UW-Parkside Library locates and obtains materials for UWP faculty, staff, and students that it does not own. Library Search will present options for requesting content unavailable in the UW-Parkside Library. These request methods are tied to Library Search with additional resources from participating libraries that agree to support the same delivery times and generous loan periods.

You will need to sign in by clicking "Sign in" at the upper right to access the request options. 

For assistance, chat, email rislib@uwp.edu, or come to the Library's front desk.

You can request an entire print book or just a chapter. Only submit one chapter per request.

Once you click the Get It button for the book, chapter, or article, you will see some new request screens that should be completed with most of the information the library needs for your request. You can also enter notes you want to share with library staff. 

For digital requests, acknowledge the copyright statement to submit the request. You can only request one chapter per request. We will not accept a request for multiple chapters. 

The Form for an article requires only your email address, which is automatically filled in, and to click the acknowledgement of copyright. 

If you are on a journal record, you will need to fill out the form with all the article information. 

You will receive an email notification when the digital PDF is ready for download. The file should download directly to the Downloads folder on your computer.

In addition to the emails you get from the library about the status of your requests, you can now check your library account for the progress of your requests on the Requests tab.

If your digital request is ready, you can download the file directly from your library account.
