Once I find what I'm looking for, how do I get it?
Come to the Media Center service window and ask for the title (by call number, if possible!), OR request it directly from the catalog (see Search Tips). You will then receive an email letting you know when it's available.
Media Center materials are available to University of Washington Libraries borrowers and patrons affiliated with Orbis Cascade Alliance member institutions. UW faculty, staff and students need only a valid Husky Card. For information about obtaining a UW Libraries borrowers card please contact the UW Libraries Cashier's Office.
Visitors with educational or research needs may request special access to access materials in the Media Center by making arrangements with the Media Center Supervisor or Head, Distributed Media Services. Fill out this form to arrange an interview.
Most media items can be checked out for 3 days, with the possibility of 3 renewals. Items on course reserve typically circulate for a 2- or 4-hour period and need to be viewed in the library.
You can renew materials, see what you have checked out, and request items through Your Library Account.
For more information, see our faculty page or students page.
