Library

 Interlibrary Loans
(ILL'S)

Highline Community College Library strives to meet the needs of our users.  When our collection does not meet those needs, we may be able to get the material from another library through an interlibrary loan.

How long does it take?
The average length of time to receive materials can take up to two weeks.

Can anyone use the interlibrary loan service?
We provide this service to HCC students, faculty and staff, to support your studies or work for the college.  If you are not affiliated with the college, or if material is desired for purely personal interest, we ask that you take the request to your public library.

Does it cost anything?
HCC library does have to pay for every interlibrary loan, however, we do not pass the charges on to you!

How do I request an interlibrary loan (ILL)?

  • A reference librarian should be contacted for help in determining if a request for an interlibrary loan is necessary.

  • Judy Humphreys and Martin Corbin in the Circulation Dept. handle the requests and phone the patrons when the ILL request arrives.

  • A patron may pick up an ILL at the Plaza Circulation counter.
