In order to take full advantage of all the CSU Library’s resources, you must set up several library related accounts.

My Record PIN Number

This is a number that you set up within the CSU Library Catalog. This account is essential if you want to access library materials (databases, e-books, journals) from off-campus or via the CSU wireless network. Once you have created this account, you will also be able to renew books online, request that the library retrieve books for you , and more.The screen asking you for this login information will look like this:

InterLibrary Loan (Click on "First Time Users Must Enter here)

If CSU does not have the library resources you need, you can order the materials through the Library’s InterLibrary Loan Service.  This includes journal articles, books, standards, conference proceedings, and more!

• InterLibrary Loan Services are typically free for CSU faculty, staff and students. If the cost of delivering an item exceeds $50, you will be consulted.
• All articles are delivered online. 90% of articles requested from journals that not owned by CSU are delivered within 3 working days.
• If CSU has a print version of an article, but the journal isn’t available online, you can request the article through InterLibrary Loan. Within 48-hours the article will be delivered to your desktop.
• Track the progress of your request from within the Illiad system. Updates occur in real time.
• Modify or cancel a request anytime before it has been sent to a supplier.
