Interlibrary Loan Services

Interlibrary Loan provides current CSU Stanislaus students, faculty and staff access to materials not owned by CSU Stanislaus. Most books are borrowed for you from another CSU Campus (via CSU+) and arrive in 3 to 5 business days. PDFs of articles and chapters are usually available for download from your OneSearch account in 1 to 3 business days.


How to Place a Request

Check OneSearch to access items already owned by CSU Stanislaus.  For items not owned by Stanislaus State, choose  "CSU Collections and Beyond." Be sure to Sign In to display Get It / "Get a copy" options to request that item. If you cannot find a desired item in OneSearch, you can complete and submit a blank Interlibrary Loan Request form. Contact a Research Help Librarian for help with requests.

    • Use the Book form for theses and dissertations, reports, music scores, and other non-journal materials. Required textbooks cannot be requested through Interlibrary Loan.
  • Book - "I only need a specific chapter or pages."
    • If you have the chapter information, you can request one chapter by selecting the "specific chapter or pages" option. You will receive PDF links for individual chapters.
  • Article
    • Use the Article form for articles from journals, newspapers, magazines and similar periodicals.

Access Your Item / Status of Your Request

You will receive email updates on the status and access to items requested via Interlibrary Loan, with instructions on how to access them when the item becomes available.
