With the support of member libraries, Winnefox Library System operates WALS, the Winnefox Automated Library Services shared computer system. Housed at the Oshkosh Public Library, WALS hosts web sites and blogs for libraries, and operates the shared online catalog, circulation, and acquisitions. All 30 Winnefox libraries use WALS.

Interlibrary Loan
Last year, over 111,500 requested items were successfully provided to patrons by other Winnefox member libraries through the Interlibrary Loan system. No library could afford all of the print and electronic resources required by its patrons and with interlibrary loan, nearly 1 million items are available among Winnefox member libraries.

Central Support and Responsibility
WALS staff offers the latest in technology and technical assistance to member libraries. From ordering personal computers to designing a layout configuration, experienced staff is available to assist member libraries with all of their hardware and software needs. WALS also purchases hardware and supplies cooperatively to get the best possible prices.
