Interlibrary
Loan
When an item needed by a patron
is not available from a COASTLINE library, the library will request books/media
and periodical articles from other libraries across the country.
Requesting an interlibrary
loan online:
- A valid COASTLINE library card number must be included on the request
form in order to process the request. If you don't already have a card,
print the COASTLINE library
card application and take to local library or campus site, or obtain
application there.
- Online interlibrary loan service is available to all Coos County
patrons and a privilege extended to all and Southwestern Distance learners
and currently enrolled students, faculty, and staff of the Southwestern
college community in Coos and Curry counties.
Southwestern Distance
learners must pickup and return items at Southwestern Library.
When a student is registered with a Curry county campus,
periodical articles requested can be picked up there. Requesting
interlibrary loan items from a local library may
provide faster service.
