Be sure to set up your ILLiad account BEFORE you start researching by visiting https://library.wwu.edu/borrowing-other-libraries-ill-summit and logging in with your WWU Universal ID and password. This will make requesting articles more seamless.

Human Services Students & Faculty in the Online Program can elect to have research materials delivered to them by US mail. Only users who visit campus less than 2 times a week can benefit from this service, since it is usually faster to pick up items at the Haggard Circulation Desk after getting an e-mail notice of the items arrival.
