FEES WAIVED FOR UW!
Pilot Project March through June 2009
From March through June 2009 the UW Libraries are conducting a pilot project waiving our fees for interlibrary loans and scanned copies of journal articles to current UW students, faculty and staff.
The pilot project will allow the Libraries to determine actual demand for the service and make budget projections. The final decision about permanent implementation of this service will depend largely on future budget constraints and demands.
See http://www.lib.washington.edu/ill/pilot.html for more details.
