Interlibrary Loan (WISCAT)

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a free service for library patrons to have access to items that are not owned by the New Richmond Community Library or any other library in the MORE system. The resource that is commonly used to fill these requests is WISCAT. WISCAT is a shared catalog that looks for items in public, school, academic, and special libraries across Wisconsin.

Things to know before placing requests:

• Placing requests does not guarantee that a library will agree to loan items.
• Items that cannot be requested:
  • Any materials newer than 6 months
  • Items currently in high demand
  • Fragile materials such as music records, VHS tapes, and cassette tapes
  • E-materials
• Any ILL items requested through the New Richmond Community Library must be picked up and returned here.
• If you would like to request a renewal for any ILL items, please contact us before the original due date. A renewal request does not guarantee it will get an extended due date. It is up to the owning library if a renewal will be granted.
• If you are not able to locate an item in WISCAT, you are able to fill out a form for a blank request. Fill this form out with as much information as possible. Staff will do their best to find this item.
