Research
Our Web site provides access to a wide array of databases and other resources. Here are some options you may not have already discovered:
Ask a Librarian
Librarians can provide research assistance by email, phone, or in person. Each librarian has subject expertise to meet your information needs.
CSU+
CSU+ is a resource sharing service that allows students, faculty, and staff to borrow books and media not available at the University Library from other California State University libraries. Before you request an item through Interlibrary Loan, check to see if it is available in CSU+. CSU+ materials arrive faster and check out for 60 days.
Interlibrary Loan
Through interlibrary loan, the Library can get almost any resource you need, including copies of journal articles, books, and dissertations. All at no charge to you.
Distance Education Services
Faculty on sabbatical or an official leave may register for distance education services to get research materials mailed directly to their homes.
