Getting books from other Libraries

Sometimes CSU Long Beach does not have the book you want or all the books on your topic are checked out.  Have no fear- there are still ways you can get books from other libraries without actually driving there.  And even more importantly, getting books from other libraries is FREE to CSULB students, faculty and staff.  Here are your options for getting books from other libraries: 

Link+
This is the best and quickest way to get your hands on books not owned by CSULB. If you see that COAST does not have the title you want or everything is checked out, you can click on the search Link+ and instantly see what more than 12 other libraries own.  If you see a book you like- all you have to do is click on request this item and enter your name and student ID number.  Items will arrive in 3-5 days at the Circulation Desk for pick up!!
 
Please note: Library does not send notification of arrival of item- so just check in 3 days with Circulation.
 
Interlibrary Loan
This is for titles that are not available in LINK+ or at CSULB.   You must have a library PIN to order books this way and it takes a little longer (Items will arrive 10-14 days).  So start your research early! 
 
Please note: If an article is available for Electronic Delivery, it will be emailed to you! For more info please see the Interlibrary Loan Page.
