New Interlibrary Loan System

The Everest College Student Resource Center is now a member of SWIFT, which stands for Statewide Interlibrary Loan Fast Track. An interlibrary loan (ILL) is loan in which a patron can ask a library to borrow books from other libraries in the ILL network. For example, if you come to the Resource Center and we don't have the book you need, we can request it from other libraries that are members of SWIFT, if they have it. This network is a statewide interlibrary loan system, so we can request books from any library in the state of Colorado that is affiliated with SWIFT as a book lender. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
