Library Forms

Research Appointments: If you would like more in-depth assistance with your research, request an appointment by filling out the Research Appointments form. Appointments can be conducted in person or online.

Interlibrary Loan (ILL): Interlibrary Loan is a service provided by University Libraries that you can use to request books, journal articles and other materials that University Libraries does not own. When you request something from Interlibrary Loan, we will find another library who has the materials you need and is willing to lend them or make a photocopy of them for you.

Equipment Liability: Borrowers must fill out the Equipment Liability form to borrow University Libraries equipment.

Request Library Instruction: Librarians provide hands-on course integrated instruction sessions that reinforce or scaffold student skills. We base our lesson plans off your research assignment, selecting resources and designing activities to support students. Instructors can request to meet in one of the library's instruction spaces or have the librarian come to their regular classroom or meet virtually.

Request Library Materials

For books, films and other one-time purchases

• Please submit requests by completing the Materials Request Form.
• The library can acquire materials on a "rush" basis. Be aware that a rush order adds to the cost of the item; please request rush orders selectively. Once cataloged, the items will be held at the circulation desk and the requestor will be notified of availability by email.
• For further information about materials for your department or questions about requests, please consult with the library liaison for your department.

For journals, databases and other subscriptions

• Subscriptions present an ongoing cost and are therefore considered in light of a continuing financial commitment for the library. Please submit requests for new subscriptions to Lynn Loughran, and include the following information:
  • Resource Name
  • Resource Provider
  • Primary User (undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, staff)
  • Courses Supported
  • Needed for Accreditation?
  • Any additional information that will help us evaluate the request
• The preferred format for journals is electronic. If you prefer print please state so in your request.

Faculty Student Assistant Card Form: Faculty can designate students to place interlibrary loan requests and borrow items from the library on their behalf by requesting a Faculty Student Assistant Card.

Course Reserves Request: University Libraries provides the Course Reserve service to all CCU faculty, staff and students. Personally owned items and library owned items may be placed on reserve for a semester, multiple semesters, or indefinitely, depending on the needs of the department.

Gift Donations Form: Your donations to University Libraries can make a big impact on the services we provide. To give, please fill out the Gift Donations form. We welcome your gifts but request your attention to our gifts policy.
