Some resources in Chemeketa's library:
You can request hard copy items through the catalog to be delivered to the Yamhill Valley Campus, to one of the CCRLS Public libraries (in Marion, Polk or Yamill Counties) (how to request material from another library), or to one of the numerous pickup locations of Summit (in Oregon and Washington). (See About Summit for details and instructions.)
If you do not find what you need in our library or the libraries of the CCRLS district, you can pass your search through to Summit, where you can choose from approximately 28 million items in 36 college and university libraries in Oregon and Washington.
Some e-books listed in Summit are available only to users of a particlar college library; others are available to all Summit users, including Chemeketa. They can be identified by a link that says "View now."
