Interlibrary Loan Services
Interlibrary Loan Services
The Spartanburg Community College Library participates in the Southeastern Library Network (SOLINET), sharing the resources of member libraries. To date, there are approximately 22 million items in the database, including serial titles and AV materials, all of which are readily accessible on-line. This information is part of a larger database belonging to the OCLC Online System. Our Library's subscription to this service is primarily for the purposes of interlibrary loan. It allows us to search the location of an item, find out the loan policy of the library that owns it, and generate a request.
If an item belongs to a library outside the Southeastern library group, we can still request the item by mail or by phone, and count on their spirit of cooperation and professional courtesy.
Our interlibrary loan service is extended to all faculty, staff and current students. In order to request an item on interlibrary loan, one should fill out a "Spartanburg Community College Interlibrary Loan Request" form (see Librarian). The more information you can supply, the better chance you have of getting the exact item you need in a speedy manner. It is best to supply all pertinent information. However, certain information must be present in order to generate a request. They are the numbered entries on the attached form. Numbers 1 through 5 apply to all request; number 6 a-d or number 7 applies to journal or book material.
Even in the age of computer, it still takes time to communicate and activate responses, so always submit your requests as early as possible. However, if a sudden need arises unexpectedly, let the librarian know the urgent nature of your request, and extra efforts will be made, such as: personal phone calls, special delivery, use of FAX machine, etc.
The Library will try its best to provide this service in a timely and accurate manner. Feel free to take full advantage of this extra resource available to us, and ask the librarian for assistance if you have any questions in formulating your request.
