How to Borrow materials from other institutions:

  • LCSC Library

  • Gonzaga University Library

  • North Idaho College Library

  • University of Idaho Law Library

  • University of Idaho Library

  • Whitworth College Library

  • VALNet Libraries (local public & school libraries)

To learn more about searching our catalog, you can refer to our online tutorial, call the Reference Desk for assistance (x2236) or email refdesk@lcsc.edu.

From within our local catalog, you may place holds online for items in the following libraries (North Idaho Academic Libraries, or NIAL):

  • North Idaho College

  • University of Idaho

  • University of Idaho Law

These online holds will result in the requested items being sent to the LCSC Library Circulation Desk for you to pick-up.

 

To learn how to place a Patron-Initiated Hold while in the catalog, call the Reference Desk (x 2236, email refdesk@lcsc.edu).

  1. To identify books on your subject outside the Washington-Idaho Network, you may search WorldCat database.  WorldCat is a shared catalog of library holdings.  It searches more than 50 million records in the holdings of participating member libraries across North America and around the world. 

Please note that the library with the item you request may charge to loan it, and you will be responsible for any charges.  We always try to borrow from libraries that don't charge, but depending on the uniqueness of the item, that may not be an option.  On the Form for Requesting Materials, you may stipulate whether you will pay charges, should that be required, and how much you are willing to pay. 

  1. You may also identify journal articles by searching our online journal databases.  To learn more about searching our databases, you can refer to our online tutorial, call the Reference Desk for assistance (x2236) or email refdesk@lcsc.edu.

  1. If the article you would like to read is not available online or in print at the LCSC Library, you may order a copy from another library.  As with the books, the library with the article you request may charge to send a copy, and you will be responsible for any charges.  We always try to order from libraries that don't charge, but depending on the uniqueness of the item, that may not be an option.  On the Form for Requesting Materials, you may stipulate whether you will pay charges, should that be required, and how much you are willing to pay. 

  1. Once you have identified an item or items to borrow, fill out the Form for Requesting Materials.  Please complete the form for each item you would like us to order.  We will email you when each item arrives at the Library and is ready to be picked up.
