Book Collections

For SDSU book holdings check OneSearch. OneSearch is the online tool used for finding books, journal articles, and multimedia. You can also search all CSU library holdings and request books that we don't own.

For items outside the CSU, try Circuit (San Diego libraries) or place a request thru Interlibrary Loan. You can check WorldCat to see what's owned by libraries around the world.

Tips on using OneSearch

  • Use OneSearch to find books, including ebooks. Stick with subject databases to find articles.
  • One exception: OneSearch works well when you have a citation to an article and need to know if we have it in full text.
  • Use the Advanced Search option for the most control over your search.
  • Two of the most helpful ways to "Tweak my results" are limiting by resource type (aka books) and publication date.
  • Expand your search by clicking the "Other Collections" radio button. You can request books from other CSU libraries and pick them up at the Circulation Desk.
  • Once you've found a book that looks interesting, click the "Cite" icon for the book's citation formatted in any style you choose.
  • Logging into "My account" allows you to save records for later or you can email them to yourself.
