Community Development 792: Land Development Planning: Interlibrary Loan

If you need articles, books, etc., not owned by Briggs Library....
Or if you are a distance student or employee who needs Briggs Library materials shipped to your home or office....

Follow these instructions to access your Tipasa interlibrary loan account:

• From the Briggs Library home page, select "Interlibrary Loan" at the top or on the right side of the page; or simply click here.
• To log in, use your SDSU network (email) username and password.
• See below for how to request materials through Tipasa.

When you receive email notification that your Tipasa article or loan has been delivered, read the message carefully for instructions on how to retrieve the article or where to pick up your loan. 

• Articles in the Tipasa system are available for 5 views or 30 days, whichever comes first.
• Be sure to save articles from Tipasa onto your computer or USB drive as soon as possible.

• Log in to your Tipasa account.
• Locate the appropriate request, and click "Request Renewal."

Renewing items may take several days while we wait for the lending library to respond to the request. Your due date in Tipasa will change when the renewal is granted. 

If the lending library does not grant us a renewal on the item, you will receive a RECALL notice by email.

If you have any questions, please contact the Interlibrary Loan Department:  605-688-5573 or ILLSDSU@sdstate.edu.​
