The strength of the WSPP library is the services it provides to students and faculty. A professional Librarian is available to assist the WSPP community with its research and information needs.
The Librarian provides services such as:
- Inter-library loan and INFOPASS Reference question assistance
- Research direction help
- Assistance with locating where materials are locally and regionally
- Circulation of materials
- On-line database search assistance
- Do not hesitate to ask the Librarian for help!
Checking out and returning WSPP Library Materials
To check out a book or AV item, simply fill out the check-out card within the item’s front or back cover. Write today’s date and print your name on the card, then drop it in the blue basket on the library’s information table. Return items to the Librarian's mailbox in the main office. Reference books and materials placed on reserve can not be checked out of the WSPP Library.
If you are looking for a book in the WSPP Library, please contact the WSPP Librarian.
Reserve books
Every semester books, AV materials and articles are put in the reserve shelf area for specific classes. These library materials are for the use of everyone in the class and may not be checked out while they are on reserve. Faculty members are responsible to notify the Librarian before each semester of the materials they would like put on reserve for their classes.
Journal Articles
The WSPP Library does not maintain a print journal collection. WSPP provides access to several journal databases including PsycArticles and Badgerlink among others. When you need full-text articles from journals, the Librarian can also acquire Inter-Library loan articles that are not locally available. Please limit interlibrary loan requests to ten per week.
WSPP Dissertations
The WSPP Library has an almost complete collection of WSPP dissertations. A list of WSPP dissertations by author and subject is available from the WSPP Librarian. WSPP Dissertations may be checked out if we have more than one copy. If we have an electronic copy, we may email it to you.
WSPP Student ID
In order to get a borrowing card or in some cases to use an InfoPass you will need to have a WSPP Student ID. Students can get a card from an Administrative Assistant, who will fill out the card with the necessary information. New students will have their pictures taken at WSPP during the first part of a new semester, then Student ID cards will be processed and given to students.
