Interlibrary Loan
If an item that you need is not available in the BC Collection, we can work with other libraries to get the materials that you need. The LMC has cooperative relationships with libraries throughout the country. In most instances, it is possible to borrow materials from other libraries via Interlibrary Loan. It usually takes 7-10 days to get an item via interlibrary loan, but can take as long as two weeks. The library will also consider purchasing individual articles directly from publishers if the article is otherwise unavailable. There are limits to the number of items that can be borrowed through Interlibrary Loan. Talk to a reference librarian to learn more. 425-564-6161 or reference@bellevuecollege.edu
Laptops
Students can check out laptops from the Media Center on a daily basis, or in some cases, for the entire quarter. Please read the guidelines for daily and quarterly use.
E-Readers
You can check out Nooks and Kindles at the Circulation Desk in the library. The e-readers come loaded with selected titles, such as the current BC Reads! title.
Microsoft Imagine Software
Microsoft software is available for checkout by students enrolled in specific IT courses. Learn how to check out Microsoft Imagine software.
