Interlibrary Loan

Interlibrary loan services allow members of the college to access materials from other libraries. GCC cooperates with libraries nationwide to lend and borrow materials to support research and education.

If there is a book or article that we don’t have in our collection, we can request it from another library.

This is done directly from our databases (Click “Get Full Text”).
Or from our library catalog (Click “Get it”).
You will then be prompted to sign in with your GCC username and password.
Keep checking your GCC email; you will receive an email when the book or article has arrived.
View and manage your requests by logging into My Library Account.
Watch the video below for a demonstration of requesting a book. Or see the screenshot below demonstrating starting a request from our library catalog.

Requests are processed Monday-Friday, except during holidays or closures. For more information, please contact libraryILL@dos5.net.

Current GCC students/faculty/staff, emeritus faculty, visiting faculty, and Board of Trustees are eligible. Online learners may only request interlibrary loan materials that can be delivered electronically (i.e. articles). Items cannot be mailed to you.

Please request your items as early as possible before your assignment deadline.

Copyright Law Compliance Warning:
All Interlibrary Loan requests will be subject to the copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) which governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted materials.
