Use the self-checkout computer located on the counter as you enter the library.
When books and journals are not available locally at Guin Library, check the library catalog to see if the title you want is owned by OSU's Valley or Cascades Libraries. If so, articles, books or other items can be requested by simply clicking on the orange Request button located on the upper left corner of the catalog record for the title you want. A request form will appear.
Fill in the following information on the form:
Use this "Circulation Request Form" ONLY if you cannot place a request through the OSU Libraries' catalog. Use this form to request items which are in storage, in process, in repair or to place a trace on an available item you cannot find on the shelf.
OSU faculty, staff and students can request books and other items from Summit via the Orbis Cascade Alliance Union Catalog which provides access to more than 28.7 million items belonging to the collections of thirty-six colleges and universities in Oregon and Washington. Use this catalog to locate items which are NOT owned by any of the OSU Libraries, or for OSU items which are currently unavailable.
To place an Orbis Summit Alliance request:
This service helps you access materials that OSU does not own. Items can be borrowed from other institutions in the U.S. as well as from International lenders. However, everyone who wishes to use the ILL service must first register to use it.
OSU faculty, staff and students (including courtesy faculty & CIMRS) must have an ONID account before registering for ILL service. For help, phone the OSU Computer Helpdesk at (541) 737-3474 or email them at osuhelpdesk@oregonstate.edu
Once you have your ONID account and know your ONID username and password, you are ready to register for Interlibrary Loan Service. Simply fill out and submit the electronic form.
Non-OSU people associated with HMSC do not need to have an ONID account to register for ILL service. They may simply register by filling out this form and submitting it.
Everyone who registers for Interlibrary Loan service will receive an email message confirming successful registration. Please be sure to write down your new ILL username and password: you'll need to use them each time you place a request.
Please ask the Guin Library staff for help with registration if you are having any trouble: the process can be a bit frustrating.
