If the library does not own an item that you need, we offer ILLiad Interlibrary Loan service to borrow items or request articles from other libraries.  An ILLiad account can be created using your LVC username/password.  A quick access link to log into your ILLiad account is located in the Academic Resources channel of MYLVC. 

You can request materials as well as check on your requests through the ILLiad account.  To learn more about ILLiad, click on the ILLiad tab in this LibGuide.

Bishop Library has an archival and special collections room that houses rare and historical items including books, documents, newspapers, magazines, films, photos, yearbooks and more. 

To view the digitized collection of archival materials, which includes items such as yearbooks, college catalogs, and the Valley magazine, go to the LVC Archives.

To request access to materials in the archives, please contact the Access Services Librarian, Maureen Bentz.

The library purchases resources to support CETL or the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning. 

The materials are located on the main floor of the library.  A list of these resources appears on the CETL webpage.
