Borrowing Privileges

Alumni of IWU may request an IWU library courtesy card.  They would need to provide proof of graduation from the institution.  ID cards or letters from the Alumni office would be acceptable forms of identification.

Card renewals will be granted, if individual requests the renewal personally and is in good standing at The Ames Library.

Interlibrary loan privileges are only available to current IWU students, faculty, and staff.  Alumni should seek interlibrary loan services from their public library.
