Summit

Summit is the shared library catalog of the Orbis Cascade Alliance, a consortium of 36 colleges and universities in Washington and Oregon. This service provides access to over 28 million books, DVDs, videotapes, sound recordings, government documents and significantly expands access to resources for faculty and student research. Direct borrowing is available to students and faculty at member institutions and materials are delivered to campus from member libraries within 2 - 3 business days.

• Most items can be checked out for 6 weeks, with no renewal.

• Special materials such as videotapes and sound recordings may be available for a three-day or longer borrowing period, if the owning library makes this option available.

Although there is no direct cost to borrow materials, each borrower must honor the due dates for materials or he/she will be assessed a fine of $0.50/item/day for the first 10 days, then $1.00/item/day for subsequent days. In the event that a borrower allows total fines to reach $10, he/she will be blocked from further use of the Summit system until the account has been resolved.

You’ll find a link to the Summit catalog on the Law Library Catalog.

To borrow materials through Summit and retrieve them, you will need your seven digit university ID # preceded by two zeros (e.g. 001234567). Students will see this number when accessing SU Online  or can contact the law school registrar’s office for assistance.
