Circulation Services is the first point of contact for many Cleveland State library users. The Circulation Desk is located in the southwest corner of the library, immediately to the right of the entrance.
Services provided by the Circulation Desk staff include:
Need a book or an article not in our collection? Request it through Interlibrary Loan (ILL) by completing the request form corresponding to the item's format.
Print books arrive in an average of 7 business days; however, delivery times vary based on availability and lender location. Articles and book chapters are delivered in electronic format within 1-5 days on average.
You will be notified by e-mail and phone when your item arrives at the library and receive instructions for pick-up. Please note that due dates are set by the library lending the item. If you believe you will need additional time, contact library_staff@clevelandstatecc.edu as soon as possible to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the lending library's discretion.
Course Reserves allow currently enrolled Cleveland State students access to supplementary course materials and readings at no cost. Both library and faculty-owned books can be placed on reserve. If you would like to place items on reserve, fill out and submit the Course Reserve Request Form. Please note that you will need to submit a form for each item you wish to place on reserve.
Once your request has been processed, students will be able to borrow the reserved item(s) by presenting their campus ID at the Circulation Desk.
