The WACL web site serves to facilitate communication and access to area library resources and services. Interlibrary Loan Clientele of any member library may borrow from the resources of other through Interlibrary Loan. Requests for loans are initiated at the patron's library. Interlibrary Loan WACL institutions are involved in several walk-in student cross borrowing programs where the participating libraries have agreed to share their resources.
Details are available from individual libraries.
Individually issued WACL cards permit direct loans from member libraries. The latter is an international network that libraries may use to acquire and catalog library materials, arrange interlibrary loans, and maintain location information on library materials. The union list can be accessed electronically from the WACL web page. Committees WACL supports the programs and activities of special interest committees of librarians from member institutions as a vehicle for increasing cooperation among WACL members. Directories WACL publishes several directories which include WACL's policies and provide information on resources and staff at the member institutions.
