Interlibrary Loan
SVC Users: SVC Libraries offer Interlibrary Loan services to the faculty, students, and staff of Skagit Valley College.
If you are able to find resources that you need in the SVC Library catalog, we will do our best to locate those materials in other libraries and borrow them through Interlibrary Loan Services.
To request a title, please be prepared to provide the following:
- Title
- Author(s), Editor(s)
- Publication date or edition
- Other specific or pertinent information
To place a request, contact the reference desk at either Norwood Cole Library (Mount Vernon Campus) or Whidbey Island Campus Library, or email mv.library@skagit.edu
Students may have up to three InterLibrary Loan Requests at one time and no more than six per quarter without approval from a librarian.
Borrowing Libraries: We prefer that libraries making requests to borrow from SVC Libraries use the OCLC FirstSearch ILL Subsystem. Any institution that does not use OCLC for its online requesting should contact Reference or InterLibrary Loan Services directly.
Other Users:Individuals from outside of the Skagit Valley College service area (Skagit, Island and San Juan Counties) interested in borrowing materials from SVC Libraries should contact their local library to initiate an InterLibrary Loan request.
