Materials borrowed through Summit can be returned to LCC Library, the owning library, or any Alliance member library.
All Summit Borrowers (students, staff, and faculty) are subject to fines. Go to the Library's circulation policy to view Summit late fees, replacement charges, and billing fees.
Students, faculty, and staff who are currently enrolled or employed at Alliance institutions may have borrowing privileges when they visit other Summit libraries. This "Away from the Library" service includes borrowing materials from generally circulating collections and making Summit requests.
When you visit another Summit Library:
- you will need to know your "L" number
- have state or federal issued photo ID or LCC student photo ID card. Other photo ID is not acceptable per Summit Borrowing policy.
- you will need to sign into your Library account at the Library you are visiting. Please sign into your Library account before you go.
Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
Interlibrary loan is a library service through which you request materials that are not available in the LCC Library, but may be borrowed from other libraries.
Lane students, faculty, staff, and Community Borrowers can request an interlibrary loan.
All ILL borrowers are subject to fines. Go to the Library's circulation policy to view ILL late fees, replacement charges, and billing fees.
- The lending library determines whether a particular item can be provided, what the cost will be, the length of time it is on loan, and the time it takes to process the request.
- Regional agreements regulating interlibrary loan and federal copyright law also place limitations on the types of materials that may be borrowed, as well as the number of articles that can be requested from a particular journal.
- Current books, materials in high demand, audiovisual materials, or rare books may be difficult or impossible to obtain.
- Materials usually arrive within seven to ten days, but they may take as long as four weeks to arrive.
Note: Interlibrary loan requests will be filled through Summit for eligible borrowers. Summit borrowing is available to students, staff and faculty. If the borrower is not eligible for Summit privileges, or if the item is not available from Summit, the request will be filled through the interlibrary loan process.
Please check the LCC Library Catalog prior to making an ILL request.
