Average turn around time is one week and loan period and fees are governed by the lending library.  Interlibrary loan is limited to the Rocky community.  Forms are available at the circulation desk or an electronic form is available here.  Interlibrary loans that are not picked up will be returned to the lending library.   Any overdue fees will be charged to the patron.

Electronic resources are governed by Rocky's Acceptable Use of Computer Information Systems Policy.  Student assignments are a top priority for computer usage.
