So you've looked all over the Library and you can't find what you need--now what?
Mitchell Community College Library is able to borrow items from other institutions via Community College Libraries in North Carolina (CCLINC) using Interlibrary Loan. This service is free to all students, faculty, and staff.
To request an item, fill out the Interlibrary Loan Request form or place a hold on the item in the online library catalog. Be sure to fill out as much of the form as you can, as this will help ensure the correct item is requested. A Librarian will work to fill your request and will let you know when your item is ready for pick-up.
Q: When will I get my book/other item? How long will it take?
A. That depends on many factors, including how far the item is traveling from its home institution, how long it takes to get a response from the Library lending the materials, etc. However, the majority of requested items arrive in a week or less.
Q: What do I do with my ILL book when I'm done with it? Do I need to mail it back to the lending Library?
A: No. Simply drop the book off at any Mitchell Community College Library location, and your item(s) will be returned to the correct institution.
Q: How long do I get to keep ILL items?
A: Most ILL items are loaned for one month, which starts when the item is dropped into the mail by the lending institution. Your Library staff will stamp your item with its due date. While all lending Libraries do have the right to ask for their items back early, this rarely happens.
Q: Can I renew ILL items?
A: It depends, as the lending college sets circulation rules for their own items. Call or stop by any Mitchell Community College Library location, and our staff will be happy investigate. Just remember, all requests for renewals must be made before the item's original due date.
Q: How many ILL items can I get at one time?
A: Students can check out up to five items at once, including ILL items.
Q: There's a book that I need, but it's "non-circulating." Can you help me?
A: Probably! In many cases, a Librarian can request scanned or photocopied pages of non-circulating books, which have been designated for Library use only. These may be sent in the form of a fax if only a few pages are needed, or may be scanned and emailed, or photocopied and sent via traditional mail if more than 10 pages are required.
Q: What about journal articles?
A: We can ask for digital or print copies of articles from other institutions, too. If you find an article online that you cannot access, or that requires a paid subscription to view, ask you Library staff to help you locate it for free.
