Getting a book from the PCC Library
Enter a search in the PCC Library search box. If the book you want has a green dot and a message starting with Available at... then click on Availability & Request Options. If the book is available on your home campus, write down the location and call number. If the book is available from another campus, click on the Request link (you will need to login to see this link) and specify the campus to which you'd like the book to be sent. If the book is not available from PCC, you can order it from Summit, and if not available from Summit, request it through Interlibrary Loan.
Getting a book we don't have through Summit
If we don't have a book, chances are we can get it for you!
When you find an item with a yellow dot and/or Check holdings, that means the book is not in our collection or is checked out. You may be able to request the book from a library in our region. If you don't see the Request item via Summit link, you will need to log in.
Items requested through Summit can be delivered to any PCC Library at no cost for pick-up in 2-5 days. An email to your myPCC account will notify you when your item is ready for pick up. PCC students and staff can visit any Summit library and borrow items directly with your PCC photo ID. Return your borrowed items to any PCC library.
