If the library doesn't own a book or article that you need access to, then you can request it. Interlibrary loans can be borrowed from other libraries through CSM Library using our Interlibrary Loan form. Interlibrary loans can take up to two weeks to arrive so plan accordingly.
Many popular materials are available in the San Mateo's public libraries, and all CSM students are also eligible to borrow items from the Peninsula Library System (PLS). PLS includes all public libraries in San Mateo County. Visit any local PLS library to get a card and access their resources.
If there is a book or other material that you think belongs in the library's collection, please let us know! We cannot guarantee that all recommended books will be purchased, but we will evaluate each title and appreciate your recommendations.
