After logging in, select the "Request
Article Form" if you want to request an article from
a journal or a copy of a chapter, pages or case from a book.
Select the "Request Book Form"
if you would like to borrow a book.
Complete the form as fully as possible. Please
include any ISBN, ISSN, or database ID numbers, your source
of reference and your “need by date.” Additional
notes can be added in the Note field (e.g. I only want the
book if it is in French).
How much does it cost?
Currently, interlibrary loans are free unless there are
urgent (rush) fees incurred. These services fees are covered
by the patron. Rush service is not guaranteed.
How long does it take for an Interlibrary Loan to arrive?
Most requests will be filled within 3 working days
within the ASIN
(Atlantic Scholarly Information Network) group. If the
request cannot be filled it will automatically move on to
libraries outside ASIN.
If the item cannot be filled by an ASIN library, please
anticipate 2 weeks for delivery of material
listed on other regional catalogues. Our average turnaround
is 7 days;
however, some items may take longer to arrive and the library
cannot guarantee the timeliness of delivery so start your
research early.
How long can I borrow an item?
All loans (ex. Books, videos, etc) are to be picked up
from the circulation desk at the MacRae Library. Loan
times are set by the lending libraries, please
check your Interlibrary Loan book wrapper for the due date.
If renewals are required, please contact the Interlibrary
Loan Specialist.
Can I order an electronic copy of an article? (pdf)
Yes, Articles/copies can be delivered electronically to
your registered NSAC email address. The email will include
a link to the article. The link can be opened only once.
The link will be available for 14 days after receipt. The
delivery method to
choose on the request form is "email link".
You may also request a book in the Novanet
Catalogue by using a Novanet Express.
