Borrowing

Renewing Library Items

Materials with a 28-day loan period may be renewed twice, if the items have not been requested by someone else. UW faculty/staff receive a semester loan on most materials and they have 6 renewals.

Magazines, items on reserve and Open Book DVDs cannot be renewed.

External hard drives can be renewed once for 14 days.

Renewals may be made:

  • Online
    Via My MadCat Account. You must supply your 11 digit ID number and last name on the Login screen.
  • By phone
    Call (608) 263-4439. You will need your complete 11 digit ID number and the barcode number from each item.
  • In person
    Bring the charge receipts from the materials (or the materials themselves) plus your valid UW ID or borrower's card to College Library's Circulation desk or Computer & Media Center desk.
