This short video will show you how to use Library Search to discover books and articles in print and full text online at Chemeketa and many other libraries.
Summit is the system used to request books and other items from 37 college and university libraries in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. You must be logged into the Primo library search to see Summit links.
Any item in the library search results that says Check holdings is a potential Summit Plus physical item request.
You can check on your your request in your Library Account.
You can renew your Summit book by signing into your library account in Primo or from the Library Account button on the library home page. Note: If the item has been requested by a user of the library that has lent it, renewal will be blocked.
You can request items from public libraries in our area by using the CCRLS Bridge in our Primo Library Search. A full explanation of how to use it is available
What if a book isn't available through Summit or CCRLS? The library offers interlibrary loan services to Chemeketa students and employees. For more information go to Interlibrary Loan Information.
Chemeketa Community College library uses the Dewey Decimal System. Every book has a Dewey Decimal call number that's used to keep books organized and to find them on the shelf. Call numbers group books on the same subject in the same location on the shelf. For example, all of the books with the 551.21 call number are about volcanoes. Because there is often more than one book with the same call number, the first letters of the author's last name and additional numbers are included.
The book with the call number above (REF 423.1 Up8) is located in the Reference collection in the call number area 423.1 and the author's last name is Upton.
