As an online student how can I use Summit borrowing?

Note: If you need basic information about using Summit vs Interlibrary Loan (ILL) borrowing you can access the "What is the difference between Summit and ILL" FAQ.

If you are an EOU student that lives near one of the other Summit member libraries, you can go to the Summit library nearest their location and have them create a visiting patron account for there. You can use this account to check items out at that library, and also use that account to place requests for items located at Summit libraries. 

The benefit is that you are able to get the materials much more quickly and also avoid having to mail them back to the EOU Library.
