Consult the eBooks Research Guide for more information about SDSU subscriptions and tips for using the different publishing platforms.

To find and order books from other San Diego area libraries use the Circuit or use Interlibrary Loan to borrow books from libraries elsewhere. You can also use WorldCat SDSU

Steps to find books at other libraries: 

1. Do we have it at SDSU?  
   • Check the Library Catalog.
2. Is it available in the San Diego area?
   •  If you are searching for a book in the Library Catalog, but cannot find it, use the Repeat Search in Circuit button.    
   • You will be directed to the Circuit catalog.   Once you find the item in Circuit, use the Request button and follow the prompts. 
3. Is it available in other libraries?  Are there different editions available?  
   • Use the ​WorldCat SDSU database to idenfity the edition you need.  This version of the database will automatically complete ILL request forms.
4. Already know it's not available at SDSU or through Circuit?  
   • Submit a request to Interlibrary Loan (ILL).
