LINK+
LINK+ is a hard copy book / media borrowing consortium in California and Nevada. If a patron is looking for a known item in OSCAR and it's not available, click the LINK+ icon to see if it is available from another library in the network. You may also search LINK+ directly, but you will want to make sure that an item is not available at SCU before you request it from another institution. To use LINK+, there is no additional registration--we use our Library Barcodes (printed on the back of the Access Card) to place LINK+ requests. Items arrive in 2-4 days--generally more quickly via LINK+ than they would via ILLiad.

ILLiad
ILLiad is primarily used to request articles and book chapters (which generally arrive in PDF format), and to request hard copy books that are not available through LINK+. You must create an account before you can use the service!

Interlibrary Loan
Interlibrary Loan Services at SCU Library are comprised of two services, ILLiad and LINK+, that work in tandem to provide SCU users with just about anything* they want and need for their research!
