Yes! As a student, faculty, or staff member, you are able to borrow items from the other MCCCD Libraries (Intra-District Loan) and from libraries outside the District (Interlibrary Loan).
Intra-District Loan (IDL):
IDL is ordering materials from other MCCCD Libraries. Use the online catalog to locate materials and then use the "Place Hold" to request items. It typically takes 3-5 business days for an item to be sent from library to library.
Interlibrary Loan (ILL):
ILL is ordering materials from non-MCCCD Libraries. The purpose of Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Service is to obtain, whenever possible, materials (typically books and articles) not available in the Scottsdale Community College Library collection for the educational and research needs of the college community. Allow a minimum of a few days to receive articles and a minimum of 2 to 6 weeks for books. This service is free for most requests, although some libraries may impose fees. To start the interlibrary loan process, go to https://maricopa.illiad.oclc.
