Q. How do I get access to items Western Libraries does not own or have access to?

Even if Western Libraries does not have the material you need, the Interlibrary Loan department can try to get it for you from another library.  Bear in mind that books and media requested through interlibrary loan may take several weeks to obtain (article requests generally arrive much faster), so please plan ahead.

You may also want to check if another library in your area has the material you need and use the material on-site.
