- WisCat is the statewide bibliographic database for Wisconsin. It contains 6.7 million bibliographic records with local holdings statements for 1,270 libraries of all types throughout Wisconsin. The libraries listed in WISCAT are willing to loan many of the materials through established statewide interlibrary loan channels. If you want to obtain an item listed in WISCAT, make a printout of the record and take this printout to your local public library or to a school, academic, or other type of library you are eligible to use. Ask the library staff in that library to obtain the materials through interlibrary loan. Do not directly contact the library listed, if it is not your local library or if you are not eligible to use it directly. If you have questions, contact your local public library for information on interlibrary loan policies in your area.
