Get books from other CSUs for free!

Looking for a book that Cal State East Bay doesn’t have? Use the free CSU+ service to request a book from another CSU campus and have it delivered to East Bay! After you request a book, it should arrive in 2-5 business days and you can keep the book for 60 days. 

Step 1: Search in OneSearch

Using OneSearch, enter the title of the book you want to read and click the magnifying glass icon. 

Step 2: Click “Check for Available Services”

Once you see the book you’re looking for in your search results, click the link under the book information that says “Check for Available Services.”

Step 3: Click “Sign in to Request, Save, or for More Options”

Click the “Sign in to request, save, or for more options” button and then login using your campus NetID and password. 

Step 4: Click “Get it” to Get a Physical (Print) Copy of the Book

Once you’ve logged in, you should see the option to click the blue “Get It” button to get a physical copy of the book you want from another CSU library.

Step 5: Choose your Pickup Location (either Hayward or Home Address) and Click “Send”

You can choose to pickup the book at the Hayward Campus Library (CORE Building) or have the book delivered to your home address at no charge. If you choose home address, you’ll be responsible for returning the book to the Hayward Campus Library (either in person or via mail) by the due date.
