How do I get a book that is checked out to someone else?
All UW borrowers may use UW Libraries Search to request books that are currently checked out by another borrower.
Current UW faculty, students and staff are encouraged to request the item from Summit - in most cases you can get a copy from another library before the other person would need to return the UW copy
Items due in more than 14 days will have the due date changed to 14 days from the date of the request
Items due in 14 days or less will keep the original due date
Why was the due date of my book changed?
The item was requested (recalled) by another borrower or for reserves
You are guaranteed a 14 day checkout unless the item is needed immediately for reserves or if the item has a shorter loan period
Current UW faculty, students and staff are encouraged to check UW Libraries Search to see if there is a copy available from a Summit library - in most cases you can get a copy from another library before you need to return the UW copy
