Link+ (Main Campus): Home

This is a step by step guide for finding and requesting materials with Link+ as patrons of the Main Campus.

Link+ for Main Campus

This guide is for users located on the main campus. Regional campus users should use another guide.

Link+ is a borrowing service that allows us access to 60+ public and university libraries across California. Link+ allows you to borrow books and multimedia materials for 21 days with one renewal for an additional 21 days.

To access Link+ start by searching in the Hiebert Library discovery service. If you don't find what you need there, click on Linkplus in the right column of the search results page (or at the top of your screen if using a smart phone or other small screen). 

This will take you to the Link+ discovery service, with your same search repeated there. When you find an item that you would like to request, resist the temptation to simply click Request it, Instead, click on the title of the desired item and then scroll down to the list of locations that have the item. Make sure that at least one of those locations shows that the item is available. If so, you're ready to click Request it.

You will then be prompted to select your home library. Scroll down to “Fresno Pacific Univ” and click Submit.

You will then be prompted to enter your last name and type in the first 7 digits of your Student ID number. For pick up Location, select “Main Campus” and then click Submit. That's all you need to do. The Link+ computers will take it from there.

Link+ items typically take 3-4 working days to arrive, though it will sometimes take longer. Once the requested item arrives at Hiebert Library, you will receive an email indicating that it has arrived. You will have 2 weeks from that date to come to the library and pick up the item.

Once you've checked out the item, you may keep it for 21 days with the option of renewing it for 21 more days. When finished with it, return the item to Hiebert Library.
