Need Assistance?

If you are unable to find desired books in neither WOLF nor Summit, you may search WorldCAT, making sure not to check the box for "Items in my Library." WorldCat searches the holdings of thousands of libraries around the world; many items found may be requested through Interlibrary Loan.

For general assistance in using the WOLF library catalog or WorldCat, you may contact the Hamersly Library Reference Desk at 503.838.8899. If you experiencing difficulty in requesting materials, or need to track an order or return, please contact Janeanne Rockwell-Kincanon at 503.838.9493 or email: kincanj@wou.edu .
