CVTC Library Services: Interlibrary Loans

Interlibrary Loan Services at Coosa Valley Technical College Library

Interlibrary loan has long been a top priority to Georgia librarians. Since the formation of the Georgia Library Information Network (GLIN) in 1969, public academic, and special libraries have worked together in sharing their resources.

With the advent of advanced microcomputer products, it became possible to take advantage of this technology to provide Interlibrary lending online. Plans for the formation of the Georgia OnLine Database (GOLD) were begun in December of 1987, when the online Computer Library Center (OCLC) proposed the formation of a Georgia database using the records that Georgia members of the Southeastern Library Network (SOLINET) had already input into the system. In November of 1988, GOLD went online with a database of over six million Georgia holdings, and, in 1989, GOLD members voted to include a union list of serials as part of GOLD.

GOLD has succeeded in making the interlibrary loan process easier and faster. Sharing resources across the state has spread the lending burden out more equitably among member libraries. GOLD has provided a solid framework for the future development of resource sharing and technology in Georgia.

You, as a faculty, student, or staff member of Coosa Valley Tecnical College have a world of resources available to you through your campus library.
