Other Libraries
If you do not find what you need using the HSU Library Catalog try the following library catalogs. HSU students, faculty and staff can request materials using options built into the CSU Catalog and WorldCat. For materials found in other catalogs you will need to complete a regular Interlibrary Loan request. Average time to receive requested material is nine days unless noted differently.
