Q. If the DVC Library does not have what I'm looking for, can I borrow materials from another library?

You can submit an interlibrary loan request for books and articles at another library by filling out the Interlibrary Loan Request Form.

    Books: Can take 3 to 4 weeks but usually arrive within 10 days. You will need to pick up the book in person.

    Articles: Can take 1 to 2 weeks. The article will be emailed to you.

    Textbooks: Cannot be requested via interlibrary loan

Please note you may have to pay a fee to use this service. If so, we will let you know before filling your request.

For more information: see the library Borrowing and Checkout Policy.
