LMC students and employees needing resources not held in the LMC library can request materials via the Interlibrary Loan link. To search and request items online, go to http://www.lakemichigancollege.edu/lib/interloan.html Interlibrary loan requests can take ten (10) or more working days to fill, so advanced planning is necessary to receive materials in time. Occasionally, lending libraries may charge a fee for interlibrary loans. Once the library staff receives approval from the library patron that they accept the fee amount, payment of these fees become the responsibility of the Lake Michigan College Library patron. The library will not request required class textbooks.

A MichiCard sticker can be placed on a LMC patron's ID card if he or she wishes to go to other participating MichiCard libraries to check out those libraries' materials. MichiCard is a statewide library card system designed to give Michigan residents access to library collections outside of their hometown.

LMC patrons may use a Berrien Library Consortium Infopass to check out materials from the James White Library at Andrews Unversity. MichiCards and Infopasses for LMC patrons are available at the library circulation desk.

Borrowing materials from other libraries is a privilege not a right. Respecting the policies of lending libraries is very important in assuring our continued access to other libraries’ resources.
