You will almost never find all of the resources you need at any one library!

Libraries cooperate by borrowing items from one another for their users. 
This system of borrowing and lending is called Interlibrary Loan or ILL.

Inquire at the ILL Department of any public or academic library to ask whether that library can provide you with ILL service.  Exact arrangements will differ from library to library.

If your local library does not own an item you need, you should complete their ILL form with the exact bibliographic information or citation for the material you need.  Your library (the borrowing library) then sends your request electronically to a library that does own the requested material. The lending library sends the requested material, if it is available for lending, to you in care of your local library.  

 If you are unable to obtain Interlibrary Loan privileges at a library near your home,
the CSUDH Library may be able to borrow materials from other libraries on your behalf .

Use the CSUDH ILL form on the CSUDH Library website at: http://library.csudh.edu/LibraryServices.htm
Be sure to indicate on the online form that you are a distance learner
(type "distance learner" after your name).

For additional information about ILL services at CSUDH, call 310-243-3716.

 The process of Interlibrary Loan an take as long as several weeks or more, so plan ahead and begin your search for library resources early in the semester
