Race in the United States reading list

Summit is a service that lets you search for and request books and other items from our partner libraries. CCC Library is a member of the Orbis Cascade Alliance, a consortium of Pacific Northwest libraries who partner with each other to share materials and costs. You can visit a partner library and directly check out items, too.

If you find a print book, CD, or DVD that CCC Library doesn’t have, you can request it through Summit. Here's what to do:

1. Type in search terms for the item you want using CCC Library Search.
2. Choose "CCC + Summit" from the dropdown menu next to the search box, then select Search.
3. Select the CCC Library users sign in for request options link. 
   
4. Log in using your full Clackamas email address and password.
5. Learn how to get the item by clicking the item's title. 
   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 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).
