to:
- Search through more than half-a-million books, cds, tapes, and
movies.
- Have items from other MORE libraries sent to your local
library.
- Place holds on items that are currently checked out.
- View your patron records to see what you currently have
checked out, renew items, and check if you have any fines.
  BadgerLink is a comprehensive site created
especially for Wisconsin residents to allow them to have free and easy access to
magazines, newspapers, video resources, and sites for government, reference and education.
It is sponsored by the Wisconsin Division for Libraries, Technology, and Community
Learning of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
WISCAT
is the statewide bibliographic database for Wisconsin. It contains 6.7
million bibliographic records with local holdings statements for 1,270
libraries of all types throughout Wisconsin. The libraries listed in WISCAT
are willing to loan many of the materials through established statewide
interlibrary loan channels. If you want to obtain an item listed in WISCAT,
make a printout of the record and take this printout to your local public
library or to a school, academic, or other type of library you are eligible
to use. Ask the library staff in that library to obtain the materials
through interlibrary loan. Do not directly contact the library listed, if it
is not your local library or if you are not eligible to use it directly.
Libraries are governed and funded by many different types of agencies and
jurisdictions, and most will not be able to serve you by mailing materials
directly to your home, office, or other location. If you have questions,
contact your local public library for information on interlibrary loan
policies in your area.
