Five Great Library Services for Your Student
- The E-Resource Gateway takes students to 500 online databases that index journal articles on every subject. The gateway, in fact, provides more access than Google. Students can use the gateway from home (with their NetIDs) or from campus.
- UW System Search, available from the MadCat library catalog, allows a student to search and request books from any other UW library
(UW–Milwaukee, UW–Oshkosh, etc.). The books are then delivered free to any UW–Madison library the student chooses. - Free three-day laptop checkouts are available from many campus libraries. Some libraries willl also lend out other technical equipment, such as digital cameras, video cameras, and voice recorders.
- The Open Book Café in College Library is the place to grab a quick cup of coffee or snack. It has comfortable group-study areas, computers, and even a collection of new DVDs and video games for checkout.
- Students can chat online in real time with a research expert by using the Ask-a-Librarian chat service, which is available most days of the week from 8 a.m. to midnight.
