Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
If material you are looking for is not available at the JCC Library, we can try to request that material for you from another library by interlibrary loan (ILL). Interlibrary loans are available for JCC students, faculty, and staff. Community patrons will not be able to use the ILL option.
Both books and periodical articles are available through ILL. However, it must first be determined that the item is not available at JCC. Full-text periodical articles available through one of our online vendors cannot be requested through ILL. You must print those out either at the library or at home, if you have the capability. You will be charged 5 cents per page for each periodical article obtained via ILL.
Some libraries may charge a fee for interlibrary loans. That fee will be passed on to the patron. Please let staff know before placing interlibrary loans if you are not willing to pay the additional fee.
Interlibrary loans can take approximately 1-2 weeks to arrive, depending on where the lending library is.
When ILLs arrive, you will be contacted by phone or e-mail.
Your material will be held for one week. After a week, if the material is not picked up, it is sent back to the lending library.
Due dates on ILLs vary, usually anywhere from two weeks to a month. We have to make sure that we return them to the lending library before the due date.
If at any time you would like assistance with searching for interlibrary loan material or placing an online hold, feel free to contact a librarian (919-209-2101) or libraryhelp@johnstoncc.edu.
