Where
Bring your items or the call number of the course reserve item to the Circulation Desk (also called the Reserves Desk). In Karrmann Library the Circulation Desk is located by the north entrance on the main floor (2nd floor). You will need your UWP ID card to check out items.

How Long
The borrowing period for undergraduates is 4 weeks.

Return or Renew
Return items to the Circulation Desk. To renew materials, you may either ask for assistance at the Circulation Desk or renew online under your personal account. The directions to renew items online are covered later in this module.

Recall Item
If the book you want is checked out, you can ensure that you will be next in line to get it. You may submit a recall when displaying the record for a checked-out book. Click on Request Item at the top of the screen, then follow the online instructions.

UB & ILL
You may also request materials from other libraries. Use UB (Universal Borrowing) to request materials within the UW system by using the UB feature in the Karrmann Library catalog. Use ILL (Interlibrary Loan) to request materials outside the UW system. UB items are checked out at the Circulation Desk, while ILL items are checked out on the library's 1st floor at the Periodicals Desk.
