Beyond Gordon Library

Occasionally, you may want a book or article that Gordon Library doesn't have.  What do you do then?

We have a variety of options, and which you should use depends on the specifics of your situation.

ARKLink

The first option is ARKLink.  This is a consortium (group) of Arkansas libraries that have agreed to let users within the consortium borrow certain types of materials from each other at no charge.  Usually, this is restricted to books.  Two key things to realize are:

  1. You must have a current and valid ARKLink card in order to check out materials from a consortial member.  (The specifics on what is involved to get this free ARKLink card can be found on the "Understanding ARKLink" sub-tab). 
  2. You will have to personally go to the ARKLink member library and pick up the item you want.  You will be expected to return it the same way.

Since Morrilton is so close to two larger consortial members (Pendergraft Library at Arkansas Tech and Torreyson Library at UCA) UACCM many students and faculty find it most-convenient to use ARKLink when their desired items are physical books.
