   1. If an item has text reading Available at..., it is currently available at CCC. You can come to the library and get it. 
   2. If an item has text reading Checked out from CCC Library... or Find & Request, it is available through Summit. Find the "How to get it" section of the record and move to step 6.
6. Select Request from Other Summit Libraries.
   
7. Select your Pickup Location.
   
8. Select Request.
9. Once completed, select Sign Out in the upper right corner of the page. Then, close your browser window to ensure that your account is closed completely.

CCC Library will email you when your Summit item is available for pick up. Items must be picked up within two weeks 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 503-594-3314 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. If it is not (or if you are a community borrower), please contact Karina Young at 503-594-3314 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 required and recommended course materials (textbooks, workbooks, boxes of rocks, etc.) that students can check out from the library. It is the most frequently utilized collection in the entire library!

Faculty and/or departments are responsible for obtaining copies of all required and recommended course materials and providing them to the library for the Course Reserve collection. For more information, see ISP 170P Textbook and Instructional Materials Adoption Procedure.

Making your course materials available on Course Reserve 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.
