Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is the process through which libraries and other loaning institutions loan materials to one another. There are two types of ILL transactions at SCC:
- ILL via CCLINC (Community College Libraries in North Carolina Consortium)
- Patrons in good standing at SCC may use this service to obtain materials from any of the CCLINC libraries.
- It is FREE to borrow items via CCLINC.
- Materials usually arrive within one or two weeks.
- ILL via WorldCAT/OCLC (Online Computer Library Center)
- Patrons in good standing at SCC may use this service to obtain materials from cooperating institutions and libraries around the United States.
- Lending libraries that loan for free are contacted first. If this fails, a small fee could apply but you will be notified to gain your permission before the request is made.
- Materials usually arrive within two or three weeks but there is no guarantee of arrival.
