Interlibrary Services (formerly Interlibrary Loan)

Printer-FriendlyPrinter-Friendly

Interlibrary Services lets library users borrow hard-copy items (books, microfilm, etc.) and articles (paper, electronic) from libraries all over the world. Interlibrary Services does not fill requests for:

  • items already listed in either the SJSU Library or the San José Public Library collections
  • textbooks
  • items on Course Reserves for SJSU students at the King Library
Before using Interlibrary Services, please check the Library Catalog to see if the title you need is already listed in the Library's collection. If you need a particular book, it is also good first to check Link+, which often has a faster turnaround than Interlibrary Services.

If your item is not in the Library Catalog or Link+, please choose among the following Interlibrary Services options:
