Students attending MUW through the Itawamba program, or through distance education classes can use ILL to obtain needed information, although it is located on the main campus. Normally ILL is a free service, but if there is a charge, it is passed on to the patron. If theses or dissertations are requested and cannot be located, they can be bought by the patron from University Microfilm either in book or microform format. These are ordered and paid for by the patron. Books that are ordered can usually be kept for one month and in most cases can be renewed one time.
Articles are for the patron to keep.
When interlibrary loans are received, the library patron will be notified through e-mail or by telephone. If material is not picked up in two weeks, it will be returned to the lending library. Interlibrary loans can be picked up whenever the library is open. They will be located behind the circulation desk on wooden book trucks.
