Book Requests
Before submitting a request:
- Check OneSearch for the book before submitting a request.
- Check Cuyamaca Library OneSearch prior to submitting a request.
- Requests from Cuyamaca usually take 1-2 days to be delivered, faster than coming from
other libraries.
- Do not use Cuyamaca's Interlibrary Loan request form.
If you still cannot find the book:
- Submit the Interlibrary Loan request.
- Requested books can take anywhere between 2-14 days to arrive to the Grossmont College
Library and will be placed on a hold shelf for pick up.
- Book pick-ups are done at the library front desk during open hours.
What is the loan period?
- The Library honors the loan period and renewal options designated by the lending library,
generally for one month at a time.
- Request renewals by replying to your courtesy notice. Renewals are not guaranteed.
What fines/fees can incur when using ILL?
- The Library honors late return fees, lost replacement charges and/or damaged charges
designated by the lending library. Charges will be added to your library account.
