As SJSU SLIS students, you may borrow items from the CSUF Pollak Library collection because of a unique partnership existing between SJSU and the CSUF campus, which hosts the satellite SLIS program. SLIS students are able to use the TitanCard, the CSUF student identification card, as a library card for borrowing books from Pollak Library.
 
bulletBefore you can borrow items, you will need to establish a Pollak Library account at the Circulation Desk, located on the first floor of Pollak Library South. A library account cannot automatically be opened for you, because Pollak Library does not have access to SJSU's admissions records.

bulletYou will need to present proof of SJSU registration payment when establishing your Pollak account. Registration documentation may be obtained at the SJSU SLIS South Campus office.

bulletUpon establishing your account, you will be issued a SJSU ID card. The fee for the ID Card is $5.00 with a replacement fee of $10.00. You can use the card to borrow items and for printing and copying in the library, after you place funds in the account.

bulletYou may borrow up to 50 books from Pollak Library's circulating collection. You must use periodicals at the library, as they do not circulate.

bulletYou may request items that Pollak Library does not own through King Library's Interlibrary Services loan service.

bulletYour instructors may sometimes place books or other items on reserve. Search for reserve items from the Pollak Library homepage, under Reserve Lookups on the Quick Links menu. Items on reserve may be borrowed three at a time.

bulletSJSU ID circulation privileges are only available to you during the semester you are registered as an SLIS student. Because your ID card is issued by CSUF, not SJSU, these privileges expire at the end of each CSUF semester or session:

Please Note: SLIS students are first and foremost San José State University students and thus have access to the full range of privileges accorded to San José State University students.
