Obtaining Materials from the LRC when you are a
Distance Learning Student

 

There are numerous ways to receive materials from the LRC depending upon the type of materials you need.  The following information should help you decide what the best method is for you.  Please let the LRC know when ordering materials which method you prefer.
Books - You may obtain books from the LRC or from other libraries through the LRC (Inter-Library Loan).  To find out what is owned by the LRC, do a search on ChesCat, our online catalog.  Once you have gathered a list of the books you would like, you may email the list to the LRC or call the Circulation Desk at 410-827-5861.  Once the librarian locates your books, you can pick them up at one of the following locations:
  • Your Public Library
  • Cambridge Multiservice Center
  • Easton Memorial Hospital Library

You will need to let the LRC know in your email where you would like the books delivered.  If you would like to pick up the books at your local library, please specify one of the following branches:

  • Easton Free Library
  • St. Michaels Library
  • Kent Island Branch of Queen Anne's Public Library
  • Centreville Branch of Queen Anne's Public Library
  • Kent County Public Library
  • Dorchester Public Library
  • Denton Library
  • Federalsburg Library
  • Greensboro Library

You will receive a phone call or e-mail from the LRC when the materials are ready to be shipped.

If you are unable to pick up your books at any of the above mentioned locations, please call the LRC at 410-827-5861 to discuss other options.
Periodical Articles - You may have periodical articles sent to you one of the following ways:
  • Email (if you have email but not Internet access, we can email articles from our online databases)
  • U.S. Mail (under 20 pages)
  • FAX (under 10 pages)

All articles under 20 pages will be sent via U.S. Mail unless you specify.  Please include your address for quicker delivery.

All articles over 20 pages, or multiple articles totaling more than 20 pages, will be handled the same as books.
AV Materials - Please contact the LRC if you need to request videos, transparencies, or equipment.
