How to request items from other libraries

Receive and Return Items

For books or other returnable items: 

Wait to receive email notification that the book is available.

Pick up your book or AV material at the circulation desk on the first floor of the Billington Library.  Remember to bring your library card/ JCCC ID.  All ILL items will be processed with a yellow book band which shows your name, the title of the item, the due date, and how to contact ILL staff.  Please do NOT remove the yellow book band from your ILL material. 

Return your material at any of the bookdrops within JCCC Library.

 

For articles and other digital items: 

An email will be sent to the email address you provided at the time of request.  Usually the article can be attached to the email.  On occasion, when the requested file is too large for email, a dropbox link will be sent.  Read the email carefully, it will contain any information concerning time limits.  Many links expire after 30 days. Save the article to your computer if you need it longer.
