Items not owned by Chemeketa or by its consortial borrowing partners can be requested from another library (interlibrary loan).
Interlibrary loan of articles can be requested directly through the Primo Library Search; most articles will be delivered electronically.
Interlibrary Loan requesting service for physical items, such as books, is also available. Allow a minimum of 7-10 days for physical items to be delivered. Some items will take longer, depending on availability.
Use an Interlibrary loan form to request materials that are not in our own library, in Summit, or in CCRLS Public Libraries.
You can ask the librarians for help finding alternative online resources.
For more information about interlibrary loan, with a list of frequently-asked questions, see the Interlibrary Loan Information page.
To see requesting options you must be logged into Primo Library Search.
Articles that Chemeketa does not have in electronic text show a gray "Check Availability" message under the description in the results. Click the title of the article you want.
In a few cases we have the journal in paper form, and you can request the issue to be sent to you. If we don't have the article in any format, you will see a Summit Plus link in the section of the record marked Get It. Most Summit Plus articles can be emailed to Chemeketa students and employees within 48 business-day hours. There is no charge for the service.
A form will open with the information about the article already filled in; simply click the Request button to complete your request. You do not have to choose a pickup location for article requests. They are delivered electronically.
You will receive an email with the subject Article Access Notification when an article requested through Summit Plus is available to download. Open the email and click on "click here." Enter your Chemeketa email address when prompted to sign in.
You will receive a second email with the subject Library Requested Item Link. Open the email and download the article.
Some library databases, such as CINAHL, Education Research Complete, and the Gale databases, have links that allow you to check for full text in another database. Clicking the link will take you to a page that has a link to the article, if available.
