Delivery to the Georgetown, Myrtle Beach and Waccamaw locations is a service provided for CCU students who are taking classes primarily at these outreach centers. Students who are taking classes at the main campus in Conway are encouraged to acquire needed library materials while at the Conway campus.

Materials Available for Delivery

Books in the Reference Collection or Waccamaw Room are not available for delivery. Non-print materials such as videos, DVD's, kits, computer disks, audio tapes, LP's, CD's, and CD-ROM's are also not available for delivery.

Journal articles contained in titles owned by the Library will be photocopied and sent to the outreach centers. Individual issues, bound volumes or microfilm reels are not available for delivery. Many journal titles may be available from the Library's full text periodical indexes.

Requested articles available in full-text from these databases will not be delivered to the Georgetown, Myrtle Beach or Waccamaw Centers.

Journal articles owned by Kimbel Library but not available in full-text will be scanned and delivered electronically. The requestor will recieve an e-mail when the article is available with instructions on how to download their article from the Kimbel Library website.

Placing Requests for Kimbel Library Materials

  1. Verify that Kimbel Library owns the needed materials by searching the Online Catalog at http://library.coastal.edu. See below for instructions on requesting materials not owned by Kimbel Library.
  2. An online Interlibrary loan (ILL) request form must be completed for each item requested. From the library's homepage, choose "Departments" and then click on "Interlibrary Loan". Follow the instructions to login to MyLibrary. From your MyLibrary page click "Request Interlibrary Loan Material" and fill out a form for the type of item you wish to borrow.
  3. Indicate on the ILL form that the item is to be delivered to Georgetown, Myrtle Beach or Waccamaw by typing Kimbel Library in the Cited in: box of the ILL form and by typing Deliver to Georgetown, Deliver to Myrtle Beach or Deliver to Waccamaw in the Other Information: box of the ILL form.
  4. Items will be checked out to the requester and sent to the requested location.

Returning items, fines, and copying fees

All books borrowed must be returned to the front desk of the outreach location or to Kimbel Library in Conway by the date stamped in the back of the book. Books returned after the due date will be assessed a $.10 per day overdue fine.

Please note that charges on your record exceeding $1.00 will result in a block of your Library privileges.

Books may be renewed by telephone at 349-2400 or online using MyLibrary through the Library's web page. Renewals must be made prior to the due date stamped on the book. Overdue fines may be paid by mail. Send a check made out to Coastal Carolina University to:
