Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) helps you access materials not available from the University Library. Requests are fulfilled using CSU+ and partnerships with other libraries. Physical loans borrowed through ILL can be picked up from the Library pickup lockers or at the Guest Services desk.  You may return ILL items to the Guest Services desk during Library open hours or at any of the Library book drops.

Note: Items returned to book drops remain on your account until inspected by University Library staff. This process may take up to one week.

How do you use Interlibrary Loan? Login to OneSearch and search for your item, then click one of the Get it! links on the item screen. Or, if you can't find your item in OneSearch, use the Interlibrary Loan request form. For more information on Interlibrary Loan services, please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions about Interlibrary Loan or contact Interlibrary Loan (information below).

Eligibility

ILL services are available to currently enrolled CSUN students, currently employed CSUN faculty and staff, and Emeritus faculty.

If you have overdue items or owe fees for lost/damaged materials, you will be unable to make ILL requests. You will need to clear any blocks by returning overdue items or resolving any lost/damaged item fees. See Fees and Potential Holds for Overdue, Lost, or Damaged Library Materials and Equipment for more information.
