Find It!
This "Find It!" link should lead to a menu indicating whether the book is available in the University Library, a link to request it via our quick CSU+ service, or a link to request it via Interlibrary Loan. For items not owned by CSU Stanislaus, users will need to login with appropriate campus credentials (Warrior Card # for CSU+, campus username for ILL) to submit a request for the item.

-OR- Use a link from the Library’s website (http://library.csustan.edu) under Books or Databases A-Z

Currently, there is no easy way request a book via CSU Stanislaus from a “plain” www.worldcat.org record. (The recommended, best way is to use the CSU Stanislaus WorldCat version instead).
Under Find a copy in the library, look for CSU Stanislaus. (You may need to change the location to zip code 95382).
Under Nearby Libraries, look for CSU Stanislaus. (If not listed, scroll to the bottom, select Find More Libraries, and enter 95382 for the zip code.)
Create a personal account for WorldCat.org, and list CSU Stanislaus as one of your favorite libraries.
This "favorites" option will link to general CSU Stanislaus Library pages, but not a specific request form.
