How to Order a Book from Another UW System Library
Using the UW-Manitowoc Library Catalog
It doesn’t matter what you’re looking
for—book, DVD, CD--if it’s on a
library shelf, you use the catalog to
find it
Step One: Go to the UW-Manitowoc Library Home Page
Find the link to the library from the main UW-Manitowoc home page
OR
Type the URL into your browser’s address boxhttp://www.manitowoc.uwc.edu/library/
OR
Use a search engine to search for “UW-Manitowoc Library”
You’llThe next step is to select the “Books,
CDs, DVDs” link on the Library home
page.
And this is it—the library catalog. We’re at the advanced search tab,
but it’s cool. If you ever need help, you know who to ask, right? The librarian. More info ahead.
One of three results is possible from a catalog search
Search for item in the library
catalog
Is it at UW-Manitowoc?
Find the item on the shelf
Is it at another of the UW Colleges
libraries?
Request it
Is it not available at all?
Go to the More Libraries tab and search
again
Limit the search to Manitowoc by scrolling down the above menu bar in order to see
what is available here only. Set no limits to explore the collections of the other UW
Colleges libraries in addition to Manitowoc’s.
Search by title, author, keyword,
subject, or call number (if you
know it).
Let’s search for something.
Then we’ll find out if it’s here or at another
library.
Hi. Lady AND gaga is a keyword search. Just
type in your words and put the word AND in-between them. Then
search.
Look here—UW-Manitowoc has “The Fame” on CD. We
rock!
I’m not much of a Gaga fan. Country music is what I like.
So I’m redoing the search and mixing it up this time,
searching by author, not keyword. Just for fun. ;)
She’s one of the first authors
listed. Go for it!
The CD is at Marinette and I
know exactly what to do. I
select the “Request this item” button
above.
I keep my student ID handy for moments like this. I haven’t
memorized my barcode number yet.
Ha! I have!
Just fill in the blanks with your
student ID number and last name.
Go ahead. Select OK.
Now I’ll select UW-Manitowoc as my pickup location, put my barcode
number in again, and submit the request. It
takes half a minute.
And that’s all you need to do for
now. You’ll get an email notice when
your request arrives at the
library.
Bring your student ID
with you when you come to pick it up.
I’ve stumped the system. My
title is not available—
anywhere! See, no hits listed.
It’s cool. I just click on the “More Libraries”
button.
Select All UW System/
Universal Borrowing
Libraries and hit “Connect”
Redo your search and click on “Search”
At the time of the search, this book is available at seven
different UW libraries.
Select “Show”
Two records are shown. Note that one is checked out (#2).
Click on the title for #1, which is available.
A list of holdings appears at the bottom of the record. To order one, click on the
“Request this item” button found at the top
Insert your barcode number and last name.
Click Login.
Select “OK.”
Use the drop-down menu to select a library to order from.
Put in your barcode # (again). Don’t forget to pick out campus
location: UW-Manitowoc!
Submit your request.
An email will be sent to your campus address when the item arrives in the library. Bring
your ID and ask for it at the circulation desk. Expect it in 2-5 days.
The process will get easier the more
often you do it. So use it! Order
whatever you can, whenever you like.
And ask for help whenever you need
it.
