InfoPass

The Infopass system supports cooperative borrowing of library material at most libraries within the greater Milwaukee community. Staff at the Library Services Desk can provide a form that allows borrowing for Marquette students. The following rules apply:

• The needed material CANNOT be held in the Marquette collection.
• A maximum of three items may be obtained on one Infopass.
• The Infopass must be completed at Marquette PRIOR to going to the holding library. Information Desk staff can help determine the location and availability of needed material.
• The lending library may impose daily fines for overdue Infopass material. Pay attention to the loan rules when obtaining material via the Infopass system. Marquette has agreed to bill delinquent borrowers for non-returned Infopass material.
• Questions? Please contact Information Services at (414) 2885-7556 or by email.

Cooperative Access Program (CAP)

Marquette University Libraries, the Medical College of Wisconsin and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee have developed a Cooperative Access Program (CAP) for scholars to obtain local access to needed resources.
