Interlibrary Loans - Community Colleges & Outside Peninsula Library System

Can't find an item in our catalog? You can request materials from the San Mateo Community Colleges (Cañada, Skyline, or College of San Mateo) at no charge. If the Community Colleges do not have the item you would like, we can provide national interlibrary loan service for a $10 fee per item.

STEPS:

  • Make sure the item you want is not in the library catalog.
  • Search for the item at one of the three San Mateo Community Colleges (College of San Mateo, Cañada College and Skyline College) with OneSearch.
  • Submit the form below to request items from a San Mateo Community College OR for a fee-based interlibrary loan if the item is not available from a San Mateo Community College library. 
  • Items will be delivered to San Bruno Public Library for pick up and can be returned to us. You will be notified when the item is ready for pick up.
