You can request an article, book, DVD, or audiobook that the CCM Library does not own through Interlibrary Loan. Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a service provided only to CCM students, faculty, and staff.  Library users must have a valid CCM library barcode to use ILL.

You can either use the 'Request Item Through Interlibrary Loan' button that appears in databases when the full text of the article is not available or you can complete an ILL form located on the CCM LIbrary's home page, https://ccm.libguides.com/Library; Interlibrary loan - Borrow items form other libraries.

The Library will make every effort to fill requests for all types of materials. However, some libraries will put limitations on the types of materials that they will loan.  Loan periods vary according to the library that is loaning the material.  Delivery times also vary, but most materials will arrive within one to two weeks.  Digital articles will be emailed to you and any physical materials borrowed through the CCM ILL program must be returned to the CCM Library.
