Lending to Other Libraries

Interlibrary Loan Lending (Non-Walla Walla University Users)
Through interlibrary loan, non-Walla Walla University users may gain access to most of the items held within our main collection. Walla Walla University Library is a member of NAPCU and LVIS and lends to libraries located within the United States and Canada.

Note: Member libraries of the Orbis Cascade Alliance should strongly encourage their patrons to utilize Summit Borrowing. To access and order materials from the Summit catalog, click http://orbis.uoregon.edu/

Items Available for Loan

With some exceptions, items located within the general collection of our main library are available for loan. Within our main library, we will not lend A/V materials, reference books, or entire periodical issues. Due to time needed for transfer, items from our branch libraries are excluded from being lent through interlibrary loan.

Books have a loan period of four weeks with the possibility of a three-week renewal, if not needed by a Walla Walla University patron.

Books are sent via USPS; alternatively, article copies are generally sent via Ariel or fax. We are a free lender, but replacement/damage fees are $90. Articles over 30 pages in length are $5.

Accepted request methods are ALA forms and OCLC requests. ALA forms may be sent via fax, Ariel, mail, or email. However, the preferred request method is through OCLC.
