Borrowing

We provide Interlibrary Loan service for materials needed for academic purposes that are not available at the Law Library or at any of the UW Libraries. Borrowing services are provided only for the UW School of Law community, including:
 

• UW School of Law faculty and staff
• UW School of Law clinical staff
• UW School of Law students
• Gallagher Law Library staff

Other University of Washington faculty, staff, and students who are not affiliated with the School of Law must use the University Libraries Interlibrary Loan service. Visitors who are not currently part of the University of Washington community should consult their local public libraries or the libraries at their place of business about interlibrary loan services.

Cost

How much does it cost? We attempt to borrow for free. If the lending library charges more than $20, we will contact the library user who placed the request to determine if she/he is willing to pay. UWLS faculty are not charged for borrows.

Delivery Time

Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery.

Request Form

Please complete and submit the online Request Form.

Copyright

The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specific conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purposes other than private study, scholarship, or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use," the user may be liable for copyright infringement. This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.
