Interlibrary Loan

VCSU Library maintains a robust Interlibrary Loan service. This allows library users to request items that we don't own to be delivered to us from other libraries. 

To learn more about our Interlibrary Loan service visit this page or speak to a library staff member! 

Faculty and Staff Borrowing 

Faculty and staff employed at Valley City State University may borrow most library materials for one semester. Faculty and staff may renew materials at the end of fall semester but must return all materials at the end of the academic year. See the loan periods table for specifics. Visit the library's lending policy page for detailed information.

Loan Periods by user group and material type 

Course Material Reserves

The Library's Course Reserves Service allows instructors to set aside books, films, or sound recordings for class use. This service allows faculty to select a designated borrowing period that is different from a typical collection borrowing period. This allows all students in this class to have equal access to the material. Course reserves can be library owned material or instructor owned. 

Borrowing periods can be:

• 3 hours (in library use)
• 1 day
• 3 day
• 1 week
