CSU+

If you find a journal article that is relevant to you, but the library doesn't have access to, we can get it for you from another library!

3. If we do not have access, you will see the message No Access Found
4. Log into your library account using your MyCalStateLA info
5. The request link will appear
6. Review the form and submit
7. The typical processing time is 1 business day, but may take up to 10 business days for hard to find items
