CCC Library will email you when your Summit item is available for pick up. Use the scheduling link in that email to pick a time to pick your item up at Dye Learning Center. Items must be picked up within seven calendar days after they are available or they will be returned to the lending library.

If your Summit request cannot be filled, an email will notify you that your request was canceled. Instructions on how to request the item through ILL will be available on the cancelation email.

Community borrowers cannot use Summit, but they can request books through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).

CCC students, faculty, staff, and community borrowers in need of books, articles, or other materials not available at CCC Library or through Summit Libraries can request those items from another library that participates in the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) program. Loan periods may be shorter than for our own materials, and renewals may or may not be possible. ILL is a free service.

All article requests should be submitted through ILL.

To request an article, first double-check that the article is not available from another database. The CCC Library Catalog is a good place to check!

Once you have determined it is not available at CCC, please fill out our Interlibrary Loan form (below) or contact Karina Young at 503-594-6328 or ill@clackamas.edu. Articles will be emailed to you within 3 - 10 business days. Include the following information:

• Article name
• Article author
• Journal name, volume number, and issue number
• Publication date
• Article page range

To request a book, first double-check that the book is not available from a Summit library (use the search box on this page). If it is not (or if you are a community borrower), please contact Karina Young at 503-594-6328 or ill@clackamas.edu. ILL books arrive in 7-10 business days. Include the book title, author, publication date, and ISBN (if possible).

You may also stop by the library to fill out a paper request form.

Course Reserves is a collection of textbooks that students can check out from the library for a limited amount of time. Faculty and/or departments are responsible for obtaining copies of course materials and providing them to the library. For more information, see ISP 170P Textbook and Instructional Materials Adoption Procedure.

CCC Library's most frequently checked-out resources are Course Reserves material. Providing your textbook or class materials saves students money and helps students who:

• have delays in their financial aid disbursement or other financial hardship;
• would like to work on campus, but left the book at home;
• can't get the book from the bookstore; or
• are thinking about taking the class, and want to see the material to help them decide.

Students are grateful and excited when they discover that a course textbook or workbook is available.

Please note:

• Instructors or departments need to provide all course reserves items: CCC Library does not order the textbook for you.
• Mistakes happen! While the library attempts to reduce the number of lost Course Reserves, they can still go missing. If the course reserve for your class was checked out and never returned, the library will contact you to secure a replacement.

2. Drop off or mail course materials to the library.
