Colby, Bates and Bowdoin students, faculty, and staff may request materials directly from the libraries participating in the central Maine Info Net catalog. Items listed as available or currently on loan may be requested, although some materials may only be available within the CBB consortium. The system takes care of a lot of this for you, selecting CBB libraries first for titles that have multiple holders. If there is no CBB holder, the loan will come from a university campus library or public library.
Some titles have multiple records reflecting slight differences in cataloging.
It is to your advantage to select a record with Colby, Bates or Bowdoin holdings attached if possible, since the loan and renewal times are usually longer and delivery is faster. Use regular ILL at your home library to borrow material not available through Maine Info Net. Please consult with your Reference staff for help.
