Summit is the shared library catalog of the Orbis Cascade Alliance, a consortium of 37 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.
To borrow materials through Summit and retrieve them, you will need to sign-on to Primo using your SU username and password.
Direct borrowing of returnable materials is available to students and faculty at member institutions and materials are delivered to campus from member libraries within 5-7 business days.
The loan period for general circulating material is 6 weeks. DVDs and other "short-loan" material can be borrowed for 6 days. No renewals are allowed in Summit.
Although there is no direct cost to borrow materials, each borrower must honor the due dates for materials. One renewal is allowed for Summit items. For lost or stolen items, please reach out to lawcirc@seattleu.edu. Replacement fees are subject to the policies of the owning library. If a library item checked out to you is stolen, the law library will determine the appropriate course of action.
