Borrowing & Ordering

My Account: Use your account to: See which books and ILL items are currently checked out to you and when they are due. Renew WPI library books yourself. Check on the status of your ILL and Hold Requests. And make sure you don't owe any fines. WPI faculty, students, and staff login with your WPI network username and password.
ILLiad Interlibrary Loan: WPI students, faculty, and staff can request that we borrow items from other libraries if we do not own the item at WPI.
Direct Borrowing with the ARC Card: Come to the library to get an ARC card if you would like to check books out from other Worcester area libraries. Participants include Clark, Assumption, Holy Cross, and many others.
Hold Requests: If an item you need is checked out to another user, place a hold request for it. When it is returned, it will be held for you. It will also block the item from being renewed by that user.
MQP & IQP Reports: Search print (1999+) and electronic reports (2004+). For print reports, WPI community members may submit a Request and will receive an e-mail when the report is available at the Information Desk. Print reports may not leave the building. Contact Reference at 508-831-6700 for additional information and help.
Founders Storage Request: Some items in the library's collection are in storage. If you find these in the catalog, complete Founders Storage forms and you will be emailed when they are available at the Circulation Desk.
Ordering Books & Other Materials: Academic department library liaisons may order books and A/V materials requested by faculty in their departments in a variety of ways.
