Our Interlibrary Loan (ILL) system is used for requesting books and articles from libraries outside of the MCCCD system by our students and faculty/staff.  Community members should contact their public library for ILL assistance.

There is no fee to use this system.  Keeping with our general circulation policy, we recommend no more than 20 ILL requests at once.  While there is no fee to use this system, on rare occasions, a lending library may request payment.  In these rare cases, the PC Library will contact you if you want to proceed with the request.

We highly recommend that you first check to see if the item is at our libraries by searching in One Search.  You can also expand your search results to libraries outside of MCCCD.

The ILL form will automatically populate the bibliographic information for you.

You can also access our online Interlibrary Loan (ILL) system directly to request books and articles from libraries outside the MCCCD system.  For assistance with placing ILL requests, please get in touch with the Reference Desk at 602-285-7470.
