The LINK+ catalog allows you to locate and request books (free of charge!) from any of the 52 LINK+ Libraries:

There are 2 options: you may go directly to the owning library with your APU ID card and borrow the book (call first to make sure that the book is on the shelf). Or, Just click the "Request This Item" link whenever you find a book you want to borrow. The book will be available for pickup in either Marshburn or Darling within a few business days (the APU Libraries will automatically mail LINK+ books to Regional Center students at their home addresses; this will add a few extra days of processing time).

APU students, faculty, and staff can borrow up to 15 LINK+ books at a time, with an initial check-out period of 3 weeks and one 2-week renewal. You can renew LINK+ books through your library account.

WorldCat allows you to search the collections of more than 10,000 libraries around the world. To request items, look up the publication information in WorldCat, then fill out the Interlibrary Loan Request form on the APU Libraries web site. Requested items will be mailed to Regional Campus students' home addresses; they will be held for pick-up by Azusa campus students.

Note: There is a $2 per item charge for Interlibrary Loan requests, so please check APU's holdings and LINK+ before using this option. It will take 7-10 business days for the item to arrive, so plan ahead. A notice will be sent your APU email account when the book arrives and is ready for pickup (If you are an online or regional center student the book will be sent to you).
