Important Notes

🚫 Books & physical items cannot be requested through Rapid ILL.
🔗 For physical books, check your local public library for LINK+ services.
We do not currently support ILL with Chabot College at this time.

This service is completely free for our campus community and provides fast access to academic resources beyond LPC's collections.
