What is Interlibrary Services?
Through Interlibrary Services you can borrow materials from another library. At Cal Poly, this service is free to those currently affiliated with the university: students, faculty (including emeritus), and staff. Usually, materials borrowed from other libraries have limited borrowing periods and renewals may not be possible. For this reason, borrowing assigned textbooks or books needed for extended periods of time is not possible. Although other libraries will lend many different kinds of materials, some items, such as videos, reference works, rare materials, and textbooks may not be available for loan. Please consult with the Interlibrary Services staff if you have any questions about availability or the length of time you may borrow materials.
