I am not a student at College of San Mateo, Cañada College, or Skyline College. How can I borrow books from the CSM Library?
Answer
Peninsula Library System libraries allow you to request library items from College of San Mateo, Skyline College, and Cañada College and can send them to your local library. All requests need to be placed through your local PLS Library.
If you would like to check out books from CSM Library in-person, please bring a photo ID and talk to the CSM Library Circulation desk to set-up a Community Member or Alumni account, or apply for an account online at the SMCCCD OneSearch User's Guide.
Only SMCCCD students, faculty, and staff can access the CSM Library's online resources from off-campus. With the exception of the library catalog OneSearch, all CSM Library's databases or other subscription services are only accessible to CSM staff and students. Some online tools may be accessible from on-campus by non-SMCCCD users.
