The Interlibrary Loan Department provides access for students, staff, and faculty of Salt Lake Community College to a vast amount of information that is not available at our Libraries. By use of national library catalogs we can track down and provide, either in the form of a borrowed book, or digital file of an article, almost anything the user might need. Through cooperative agreements we borrow items needed by our patrons from libraries around the country.
