Looking for a book or article that the CSUDH Library doesn't own? We can get it for you through a free resource sharing service with libraries across the country.
1. Check to see if it's available in OneSearch or another library database:
2. If no full text or physical copy is available, request it through Interlibrary Loan:
The first time you submit a request, you'll be asked to sign up for a free account.
You can also borrow books from other CSU campuses and have them delivered to the CSUDH Library. Look for the Request through CSU+ option in OneSearch.
If you're following a permalink from your professor in Blackboard, a library database link, or a full text link in OneSearch, you will be prompted to log in to the CSUDH Authentication Service.
Log in using your CSUDH username and password. This is the same username and password you use for Blackboard and MyCSUDH.
