Library Collaboration

Collectively, the libraries of ARCHE member institutions contain millions of volumes and countless periodicals, journals and other print and electronic educational resources. Through ARCHE, these vast resources are shared among member institutions' students and faculty.Member institutions also collaborate with the region's major non-university libraries and archives through ARCHE's affiliated library members.

Interlibrary Loan Program   Students, faculty and staff of member institutions may place requests at their home library for items held by other ARCHE libraries. Requested items are given priority treatment and delivered to via ARCHE's daily van delivery or electronically.

Interlibrary Use Policy and Procedures   Students, faculty and staff of member institutions may visit other ARCHE libraries to establish on-site borrowing privileges or access non-circulating items.

GALILEO (links offsite)  ARCHE serves as fiscal agent for the private colleges in ARCHE's membership to link into the state's interlibrary network, GALILEO (Georgia LIbrary LEarning Online).
