Interlibrary Loan

MCC Library participates as a lender and a borrower.

Requests: Books and journal articles may be requested, but please allow up to two weeks to receive materials. All journal article requests must comply with copyright law. Reference, reserve, and audio-visual materials are not loaned. Requests may be submitted in person; online; by phone (970) 542-3186; fax - (970) 867-6608, by e-mail: anita.ertle@morgancc.edu, or by SWIFT.

Guidelines: MCC Library does not process interlibrary loan requests for materials that are owned by the Library but are in use, or are owned by Fort Morgan Public Library. In addition, interlibrary loan service is available to students, faculty, and staff only; public patrons are welcome to request interlibrary loans from their local public library. Please be aware that some libraries charge a fee for interlibrary loan materials. Students who need materials from other libraries must: 1. Complete a separate interlibrary loan request for each title being requested. 2. Limit requests to six at a time. Exceptions may be made for faculty members conducting research.

Renewals: No renewals will be allowed for items borrowed from other libraries, in keeping with the lending library's policies. If you request an item through interlibrary loan, please make it a priority to use this material by the due date specified.
