Eligible Borrowers
All current members of the Sage Community including students, faculty and staff as well as Sage alumni who have graduated from the college are able to borrow materials from the Sage Colleges. DAP patrons who have registered at cooperating local libraries are also able to borrow materials from the Sage Colleges.
(Note: the Sage Libraries are unable to supply interlibrary loan services to alumni, however, alumni are able to obtain this service from their local libraries.)
Books and Media
-
- If you cannot find a book in the catalog, locate the book in WorldCat and place an Interlibrary Loan Request using the WorldCat Sage Illiad Interlibrary Loan link embedded in WorldCat records.
- If you find a book in the catalog but it is on the opposite campus, storage, or otherwise inaccessible, use the “Place a Hold” Function in Libraries’ Catalog to request a book (click here for short tutorial on placing holds):
Login: MySage Username
Password: MySage Password
- Delivery between campuses occurs once daily, Monday-Friday. (There will be no weekend delivery, however, so books requested late on Friday, Saturday or Sunday will not arrive at the opposite campus until the following Monday morning.)
- You will receive an email once requested materials are available. To ensure that you receive the email, when you place the hold, check the hold messaging option in your account profile in the Sage Koha system.
- Books will be placed on the hold shelf of the campus you designate when placing the hold. You can place holds on books whether a book is in another location or the regular shelves. This service applies to all Sage Libraries’ materials regardless of campus.
Journal Articles
- Process of requesting journal articles is the same whether the article is owned by Sage or by another library.
- Use ILLiad Interlibrary Loan to place a journal article request. We will scan the article and deliver it electronically (click here for short tutorial on requesting Periodical Articles.)
