McIntyre Library Services

Anyone is welcome to come into McIntyre Library and use its resources.

Walk-In

Borrowing Materials

Wisconsin residents may obtain a library borrower's card at the Circulation Desk upon payment of a $15 fee for a 1-year card and presentation of a picture ID. These cards are nontransferable. Community users may have up to 25 items checked out at a time. Please see Loan Periods. Renewals must be made in person at the library's Circulation Desk. Inter-library loan privileges are not included with the library borrower's card.  The $15 fee also enrolls users in the McIntyre Valued Partner's program for the year.

If McIntyre Library has materials you would like to use but you are unable to come into the library, you may be able to borrow items through the inter-library loan service at your local library. If you are a student at another UW-campus, you may be able to borrow the item through UW Request. Please check with your library about the availability of these services.

Online Catalog

In addition to using resources within the building, you may search the McIntyre Library online catalog remotely.

Electronic Databases

Anyone is welcome to come into McIntyre Library and use its online databases. You can use McIntyre Library databases by logging on to one of the computers. Public access is available on the bank of computers closest to the east entrance on the first floor.

Remote access to most UW-Eau Claire electronic databases is restricted to UW-Eau Claire students, faculty and staff due to licensing agreements. You may have access to some of these databases through your public library. If you are a Wisconsin citizen, some of these databases are available to you through BadgerLink, a statewide initiative providing access to thousands of magazine, journal and newspaper articles, government documents and other resources.

If you are a student from another campus and are enrolled in a UW-Eau Claire distance education course, please contact your instructor for login information that will enable you to use UW-Eau Claire databases for the duration of the course.

Students Attending Other Schools

Students attending other UW System schools may borrow materials from McIntyre Library upon presentation of the current ID issued by the school they are attending. UW Request due dates and borrowing eligibility guidelines apply.

If you are a student enrolled at an institution other than UW-Eau Claire, you are encouraged to contact your institution's library first to find out what services and resources are available to you. Because it is McIntyre Library's mission to select and build collections supporting the curriculum and research interests at UW-Eau Claire, we may not necessarily provide access to the kinds of materials you need for courses taken from other institutions.
