Interlibrary Loans FAQ

General

How does interlibrary loans work?

Interlibrary loans (ILL) is a service that allows Queen’s University members to borrow books from other lending institutions. The library requests materials on your behalf from other Canadian academic libraries as well as institutions in the United States, and further abroad if required.

Can I request material if I do not have access to a Queen’s student card or staff card?

You are required to have an active Queen’s student or staff account to request materials in Omni.
