The Willamette University libraries include the Mark O. Hatfield Library and the J.W. Long Law Library at our Salem campus, and the Albert Solheim Library at our Portland campus. All active borrowers are able to check out materials from any of our three libraries.
Certain items may be subject to overdue fines if they are not returned by the due date. Materials that are 30 days overdue are automatically considered lost. Borrowers are subject to a $90 replacement fee for each item that is lost or returned damaged.
Please contact circulation staff to discuss replacement options instead of the $90 replacement fee for lost or damaged items.
Faculty are able to assign 4-hour, 1-day, or 7-day loan periods for any materials they place on reserve for a class. These items can be checked out at the circulation desk.
If an item isn’t available through the Willamette libraries, we may be able to borrow it from another library on your behalf. We are able to request books, articles, and more from many other libraries in the United States. Material available to request can be found by searching the library catalog. Items available locally can be found in the default WU + NW Academic Libraries (Summit) search scope, while material available nationwide can be found in the WU + All Partner Libraries + Articles search scope.
Material borrowed from Summit partner libraries typically arrives within 5 days and checks out for 12 weeks. Material borrowed from other partner libraries typically arrives within 7-10 days and checkout lengths vary.
