InterLibrary Loan
The process of requesting an Interlibrary Loan is very similar to the process of placing a hold.
1. To start off, on the library's homepage, click the link for "Catalog Search"
2. To request an Interlibrary Loan, you will have to log in to your library account. To do this, click the "Log in" link at the top of the page.
3. A pop up will open prompting you to log in with your credentials. Your username is your library card number. Your password is the PIN number you chose when you signed up for the library card. Enter your information and click the "Log in" button.
*If you have forgotten your PIN number and need a new one, speak with a library staff member at the circulation desk to set a new one.
4. Once you have logged in, make sure the library selection in the dropdown menu on the left is set to "Everything"--this will open the search results to all the libraries in the interlibrary loan system.
5. Type the title of the item you wish to request in the search bar:
6. Locate the item you wish to request, and click the "Place Hold" button located to the right of the result.
7. In the pop-up, confirm that "Coastal" is selected as your Pickup Library, and click the "Place Hold(s)" button to complete your request!
