Resources From Other Libraries
Inter-site Loans
If you are sure the item you want is not available in the Falmouth Marine School Learning Centre, then it may be in stock at one of the other Learning Centres of Cornwall College. We can check the catalogue for you to see if it is available elsewhere, and if so, we can then request an inter-site loan for you. Once it arrives, we will let you know that it is ready for collection. Once you have finished with the item, you can return it to us in Falmouth and we will send it back to the site it came from. There is no charge for this service.
Please note that items are sent at the discretion of the Learning Centre Manager at the site that you are requesting the item from; certain items, such as Reference, Seven Day & Three Day Loans, may not be sent.
Alternatively, if you wish to go to the other site where the item is located, you can go direct to their Learning Centre and borrow it from there using your student ID card as usual. If you choose to do this, you will need to return it to that site as well.
Inter-library Loans
If you are sure the book or magazine article you want is not in any of the Learning Centres of Cornwall College, then you can request an inter-library loan by filling in the appropriate form. Fill in full details of the book/article you require, i.e., Author, Title, Publisher, Edition, Year of Publication, ISBN, Volume Number, Page Number(s). A separate form is needed for each item.
If the item required is for coursework, students need to get the application form signed by their tutor, otherwise there is a charge per loan.
For more information, please come and speak to us in the Learning Centre or visit the contact us page.
