Our library has a great collection, but we don't have everything. However, we can get you what you want quickly through our interlibrary loan service.
To obtain books:
If you search OSCAR, our online catalog, and find out that Santa Clara doesn't own a book you are interested in, the quickest way to obtain it to use LINK+.
LINK+, a service which allows students and faculty to borrow books and videos from member libraries at several other colleges and public libraries in California. Books borrowed through LINK+ should be available within 3 working days.
To obtain articles:
To get articles and other materials (books not available through LINK+ for example), you will need to use ILLIAD, SCU Interlibrary Loan service. The first time you use ILLIAD, you will need to create an account. For more information about ILLIAD, click here.
