Frequently Asked Questions

What is Interlibrary Loan (ILL)?

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) services allow members of the college community to access materials from other libraries. When you are looking for a book or article that we don't have, you can submit a request for the item using our catalog or a blank form. Detailed instructions are here: Interlibrary Loan - Genesee Community College.

GCC's Alfred C. O'Connell library cooperates with libraries nation-wide to lend and borrow materials to support research and education. Resource Sharing is a term referring to an agreement between a group of libraries, as we participate in Resource Sharing with SUNY and a few private New York universities. 

Please request your items as early as possible before your assignment deadline and be sure to monitor your GCC email for notifications.
