BASICS FOR PRINT BOOKS AND OTHER TANGIBLE ITEMS 

• To view and request items from OneSearch, you must be signed in   
• You can request items from Kennedy Library, other CSU Libraries, and other partner libraries
• Fastest in order:
  • Kennedy Library (don't request it - just quickest to get it off the shelf yourself)
  • CSU Libraries - Estimated 3 Day Delivery
  • Estimated 7 Day Delivery 
  • Terms to be Supplied 
• In OneSearch, if Kennedy does NOT have a copy, filter for CSU Libraries and make the request from one of those results, in order to get the speediest access (Delivery Estimated in 3 Days)
• If no Kennedy or CSU copies show up in the results your best remaining request option will state: Delivery Estimated in 7 days
• Your slowest option will be any result that says: Terms to be Supplied.  We can still usually get it, but have to find a library willing to share.

Important: Print textbooks are usually blocked from loan by other libraries, so do not count on this as a way to get a required textbook. 

DIGITAL REQUESTS

• To view and request digital items from OneSearch, you must be signed in   
• Before you submit a digital request, follow any Open Access or Google Scholar prompts to see if an item can be obtained on the spot - sparing you any delay
• Another way to often get to a digital item faster is to use a DOI, PMID, or ISBN number in the "Find By Citation" Tool.  This may reroute you to instant access; if not, making a request  from the OneSearch record you land on will be the fastest one possible. (See screenshot for the location of this "Find by Citation" tool; a video below also walks you through it. )

Important: Only a single chapter or less than 10% of a digital book can be shared digitally, so do NOT try multiple chapter requests in an attempt to get a required textbook.
