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 into OneSearch your interlibrary loan request options will appear, offering the option to request a scan to be sent to your email in about 24 hours.  If no request option appears you may always fill out a manual request for article scans here: Interlibrary Loan.
