Finding Plans & Ordering Scans
Step 1: Finding Plans
Search the Architecture Databases. (See the video above and "Articles" tab for more video tips--then scroll to "Architecture Articles.")
Step 2: Linking to the Content
If no PDF option appears, we have likely not pre-paid for the content. In that case, look for the button or the phrase Get it @ Cal Poly and use either to link back to OneSearch.
Step 3: Ordering Scans
When you are signed intoOneSearch your interlibrary loan request options will appear, offering the option to request a scan. If no request option appears you may always fill out a request for Interlibrary Loan.
