Library Resources for Public (lifelong learning) Courses, Clients, and Research Partners
Please see this list of openly-accessible online resources for sharing with your course or program participants. Should you have questions, seek recommendations, or a curated menu of resources, contact your liaison librarian, Karen.
Library Loan History and Patron Privacy
Beginning January 1, 2025, UW-Madison Libraries will retain only the previous six months of an individual’s loan history. In other words, six months after the return of a physical item to the library, information about the loan will be anonymized to protect privacy. Should you be interested in having deeper access to your loan history (to May, 2015), you will need to “opt-in” before January 1, 2025. Learn more about your loan history.
Sitting Pretty: The View from My Ordinary, Resilient, Disabled Body by Rebekah Taussig has been selected as the Go Big Read for 2024-2025. Submit a request for reading group copies.
Wiscards! During your next campus visit, please stop by the Wiscard office to obtain your photo ID (Union South, Room 149). Office hours are generally Monday-Friday (8:30 AM- 5:00 PM). Patron authentication for remote delivery services and Interlibrary Loan rely on Wiscard data. The Wiscard also functions as your “library card” for checking out materials from UW Madison and UW System libraries when onsite.
New (and New-ish) Resources
Is there a resource that our libraries do not have that you would like to request we obtain? While we cannot guarantee that budgets can always accommodate, we do invite you to make a purchase recommendation.
Are you a new colleague or need a refresher on how to access and use the collections and services from UW-Madison Libraries? If so, please contact Steenbock Librarian, Karen Dunn, for assistance or referral. She is available to work with individuals and teams via phone, email, or Web conference.
