Interlibrary Loan

Interlibrary Loan is conducted over the World Wide Web. The library system is able to search over 48 million bibliographic records, describing over 800 million items in libraries throughout the world. More than 400 languages are represented. This service is made possible through membership with AMIGOS and OCLC. The search for materials can be conducted by accessing FirstSearch, www.firstsearch.org. To access this database the patron must be a registered library patron and secure the necessary user i.d. and password from a local library. To request items the user must have a valid library card and be in good standing with the library system. The request can be made by filling out a request in any of the libraries in the county, or by calling the request in to the user's local branch or the interlibrary loan clerk, dannette.williams@arkansas.gov. Documents may also be obtained through interlibrary loan following the same above procedures. Patrons are limited to four items per request. Occasionally, an academic library may impose copy and mailing costs.
