Library Services and Guidelines for Mutual Use Borrowers
Mutual Use is an agreement between all CSU campus libraries and select local community college libraries. Cal State LA students and faculty may check out most books at mutual use libraries, and students and faculty from mutual use libraries may check out most books from the Cal State LA Library. The Mutual Use Network includes all 23 California State University campuses and select local community college libraries.
