Interlibrary Loan Service is now available at SERC Library!

THE SERC LIBRARY NOW PARTICIPATES   IN INTERLIBRARY LOAN (ILL) SERVICE!

 

Interlibrary Loan Service makes it possible for you to borrow books from the SERC Library directly through your town library. SERC Library loans books via ILL in these following collections: Professional Books, Family Books,Young Peoples Books and Archive Books. We are also able to obtain journal articles from other CT libraries. You may borrow up to three books from each of these collections. 

We are unable to loan DVDs, Inservice Education materials,  instructional kits (IM) or test kits (T) through Interlibrary loan.
 
The SERC Library catalog is the place to start! Here's how it works ...
Please have your public library card and a notepad handy. 

Log on to www.ctserc.org/library. Search the SERC Library catalog for the types of items we do loan through ILL.  When you find a book of interest, note the title, author, and edition.

Now, either 

• Log on to iConn.org. Enger the title of the resource into the "Find Books..." SEARCH field; click the COMBINED SEARCH button.  When the item record appears, click the title, then the REQUEST THIS ITEM  button.  Tor proceed with your request, enter your PATRON ID (your public library card number), OR
• Contact your public library and provide them with the title and author of interest; they will process your request.

1. When you see a book of interest, note the title and author.

2. Search for the book on the iConn website and click on the tab REQUEST THIS ITEM. Enter your town public library card number, or 

3. Contact the InterLibrary Loan librarian in your town public library, provide the title and they will make the request for you.

In each case, you would pick up and drop off resources at the library where you placed the request. It will take a few days to be delivered. Your loan period is three weeks.

If you are affiliated with a university you can also make a request through your university library.
