Interlibrary Loan

If you are having trouble finding enough information in one of our libraries, we can try to order materials from another library. We have access to the North Dakota State Library, Bottineau Public Library, and Dakota College at Bottineau Library.

1) Student will make a request to one of the library staff, so material can be requested.

2) Material will come to the library and we will process it.

3) Student will need to make special note of the due date, giving us enough time to return it by due date.

4) Student will turn in material to the library.

5) Library will pay postage to mail it back.

6) If material is lost or damaged, the student will be responsible for payment of material.

Holds**

If a student would like material that is currently checked out, they can make a request to place a hold on the material as soon as it is returned. As soon as library staff checks in material, the student will be notified that the material is available. Students can make a hold request to library staff to input into computer.
