COCC students and faculty
As a COCC student or faculty, you have access to materials beyond our local collection through the following services:
Summit borrowing
Summit combines the library catalogs of 32 academic libraries in the Nortwest into a single unified database. COCC patrons may place requests for Summit materials by simply following the on-screen instructions, starting with "REQUEST THIS ITEM." Summit books are checked out for 21 days and other special materials, such as videos, are checked out for 3 days (you may renew materials online or by calling 383-7560).
Oasis
Use the Oasis catalog (Oregon State University Libraries catalog) to search for materials. Once you locate a title you want to borrow, click on the blue "Request" button to have the item sent to you. You may pick up the book at the COCC Barber Library within two to three working days. OSU owned books are checked out for 21 days with 3 renewals (you may renew materials online or by calling 383-7560).
Note: Oasis materials are included in and can also be requested through the Summit catalog.
Interlibrary Loan
If materials are not available through Summit, you may request them from another library through Interlibrary Loan. Note that this service might take up to 7-10 working days for delivery of items.
COCC's Ebsco databases allow you to easily place interlibrary loan requests for articles not available full-text through inserted request links. In addition, COCC patrons may use the following web page to place their request: COCC Interlibrary Loan service
