Clemson will mail books to you at no charge! However, the cost of returning them will fall to you. If you don't see the book you need in our catalog, don't despair! Most colleges and universities in South Carolina will lend materials to Clemson students with Clemson IDs. If you search for a title using the link above, you can determine its availability at other state institutions by clicking "Check PASCAL for a Copy of This Item."
To get books from outside of the state, use our Interlibrary Loan System, available at the link above. PLEASE NOTE: Books ordered through this system will be mailed to Clemson and then forwarded to you by mail. Because this can often be a long process, you may want to consider using a local public library’s Interlibrary loan services.
Resource Sharing Services
If we don't have the item you need, we are glad to help current students, faculty, and staff borrow it from another institution for free! We also provide digital article delivery services for faculty, staff, and graduate students.
