• Use Link+ to get books that are unavailable at the King Library or SJPL branches
  
  
• Your Link+ books arrive for you usually in 4 to 6 days if available at another Link+ library.
  
  
• Link+ is free to all SJLibrary Card holders -- late fees still apply.
  
  

How it works: Find a book in the Library Catalog. If the Library does not own the book or if all copies are unavailable, you may then select the Search Link+ button near the top of the Catalog screen. Selecting the button will send your search automatically to the Link+ catalog. If at least one other Link+ library has the book available, you may then request it online and have it sent to any San Jose library location for you to pick up.

Request books from libraries all over the world. Use Interlibrary Services when material is not owned by the King Library or SJPL Branches. Requests can be made by filling out an ILLiad online request form. This service is free to all Card holders -- late fees still apply -- and may take 7 to 10 days for the request to be filled.

The California Libraries Catalog provides the ability to look up books and other materials in California libraries cataloged in the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC). It also provides access to WorldCat, the catalog of all OCLC libraries worldwide. Free to all cardholders.

Search over 2 million WorldCat records to find libraries anywhere that have your title.

Enter title, author, subject or ISBN in the box next to "site:worldcatlibraries.org."  "Start Over" clears search.

  

Check out what other local libraries have to offer. Select a library's website to find a phone number to call for assistance or check its Online Catalog yourself.

Note: Be sure to call a library before you visit it. Library staff there can tell you whether the item is actually in and can hold it for you temporarily until you can pick it up. If you need an item immediately, this may be your best option.
