INTERLIBRARY LOAN
 



Interlibrary loan (ILL) is how we obtain materials for YVCC students and staff that the Raymond Library does not own. (We do not place ILL's for non-YVCC affiliated individuals.  ILL Requests by non-YVCC individuals must be placed through your local public library or at your institution's library.) In addition, we lend our materials to other libraries through ILL.

If you are a Grandview student, the items you request will be sent to the Grandview campus.   Items will be mailed to students enrolled in a Distant Education course who do not live in the greater Yakima area or attend class at either the Grandview campus or the Yakima campus.  Enrollment in a Distance Education course, other YVCC courses, and address will be verified prior to mailing ILL requests.

Article requests usually take 7-10 days to arrive and books take 1-2 weeks to arrive. YVCC does not charge for this service, however if the lending library has a fee, we will notify you in advance.  You will also need to pay the fee prior to the ILL being submitted to the lending library.

CENTRAL WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY:

 

Central Washington University Library will loan materials and copy periodical articles at no charge to YVCC  students and staff. 

You can locate and borrow materials from other Washington libraries using WAYFINDER, a single search for locating almost 18 million items held by over 250 Washington libraries of all types. Searches can be limited by region within the state, or by type of library. Individual items are linked to local library online catalogs for verifying availability and local information.  (It is also possible to search worldwide library collections  Select that option from the drop-down list.)  YVCC students and employees may request items located on Wayfinder via the YVCC Interlibrary Loan process described on this page. 

 

ORDERING: ILL's will be ordered on a first-come, first-served basis. Library staff reserve the right to prioritize requests and may not place all requested items at the same time. 
 
OVERDUE ITEMS/
LATE FEES:
Replacement costs for overdue ILL's will be $100.00 until YVCC verifies actual price from the lending library.  There will also be a $5.00 per item late fee for ILL's. 

Subject to the discretion of the YVCC Library Director, additional late fees may be added to your account for ILL's not returned within two (2) weeks of the due date.
 

PICK-UP: You will be notified by phone when the item is available to be picked up in Raymond Library or that is being sent to Grandview for pick-up.   ILL's will be kept for one week after their arrival.  If they have not been picked up, they will be returned to the lending library.  ILL.s will not be mailed  to individuals because of restrictions placed on us by most lending institutions.
 
RENEWALS: Renewals are the sole discretion of the lending library.
