Interlibrary Loan Services at Coosa Valley Technical College Library
Interlibrary loan has long been a top priority to Georgia librarians. Since the formation of the Georgia Library Information Network (GLIN) in 1969, public academic, and special libraries have worked together in sharing their resources.

With the advent of advanced microcomputer products, it became possible to take advantage of this technology to provide Interlibrary lending online. Plans for the formation of the Georgia OnLine Database (GOLD) were begun in December of 1987, when the online Computer Library Center (OCLC) proposed the formation of a Georgia database using the records that Georgia members of the Southeastern Library Network (SOLINET) had already input into the system. In November of 1988, GOLD went online with a database of over six million Georgia holdings, and, in 1989, GOLD members voted to include a union list of serials as part of GOLD.

GOLD has succeeded in making the interlibrary loan process easier and faster. Sharing resources across the state has spread the lending burden out more equitably among member libraries. GOLD has provided a solid framework for the future development of resource sharing and technology in Georgia.

You, as a faculty, student, or staff member of Coosa Valley Tecnical College have a world of resources available to you through your campus library.

If the library doesn't have the book or article you need, you may request that the library borrow that item from another library free of charge! You will need to provide information about the material (author, title, date of publication, volume, number, paging) for the library to successfully submit your request. To print a request form for submittal to the library, please follow the link above. This service is provided in an effort to fulfill your research and instructional needs. For futher information, please call Linda Floyd (706)295-6511.
