You can quickly and easily place your request at any time and from wherever you can access Orbis. Orbis is a unified library catalog of many colleges and universities in the Pacific Northwest. You can not request individual journal articles from Orbis. Currently enrolled students, faculty and staff at Western may request books. Faculty and staff who have not borrowed books from the Library before should get a campus ID card at ITC 204 and come to the Library Circulation Desk to be entered into the WOLF system.
Books are the most common item, but some libraries loan other materials too.
Periodicals and reference books are not loaned. The system will let you know if the material is not available. If you have any questions ask at the Reference Desk or the Circulation Desk. If a book is available at Western's Library you may not request it from Orbis. Books requested through Orbis usually arrive within 3-4 days.
