• Link+ is your fastest option for accessing a book that is not available at PLNU
• Link+ is a network of libraries in California and Nevada.  Books are delivered between these libraries via courier.
• Books can be requested online and picked up at PLNU. Take a look at our Link+ Fact Sheet.
• Books requested via Link+ typically arrive in 2-5 days.
• If you are a student, faculty, or staff at one of PLNU's Regional Centers, check to see if there is a Link+ library in your area.
• San Diego State University is a LINK+ member.  You can check out books there with your PLNU ID Card.

If you are having trouble finding information on a specific book, use WorldCat to find books located in libraries around the world. 

Then, use the information to access the titles via InterLibrary Loan's LINK+ or ILLiad as described in the box above.

• Use ILLiad when a book is unavailable at PLNU or through Link+
  
• Check Phineas and Link+ for availability before requesting a book through ILLiad.
  
• Books requested via ILLiad take 7-10 business days.
• FYI, ILLiad works best in Mozilla Firefox and Safari browsers (there are some problems with Internet Explorer).
