We offer an on-campus retrieval service, where students, faculty, and staff can request that material on the shelf in one Queen's campus library location be sent to another Queen's campus library location or held in the same location at the service desk for pickup by the requestor.
NEW Beginning June 30, 2023, the Racer platform will no longer be an option for requesting materials through Interlibrary Loans. Moving forward all requesting of materials can be done in Omni.
We have services to get you the materials you need from other university libraries, and from any of our locations across campus. Please note, these services are only available to members of the Queen's community.
As a first step, please see if the materials you want are availble from our Omni partner libraries.

Queen’s University is a Canadian research-intensive university with a transformative student learning experience. In order to aid in fulfilling this mandate, the Queen’s library makes print and electronic media available to Queen's students, faculty and staff, as well as alumni and local area residents and visitors, who are welcome to visit Queen’s libraries and use the facilities.
Queen's University Library allows faculty to put some photocopies of materials on reserve. One paper copy of an article or book chapter may be put on course reserve for every student in your course. To put a photocopy of an article on course reserve, it must fall within the guidelines listed in the Queen's Fair Dealing policy (available for download on the Queen's Fair Dealing Policy page).
These guidelines only apply to photocopies. Original print materials can be put on reserve without restriction.
Both the Campus Bookstore and the AMS Publishing and Copy Centre still have Access Copyright licences and will clear copyright for coursepacks. Coursepacks (or courseware) are custom collections of materials (articles, notes, book chapters and excerpts) chosen by the instructor and produced and sold by the Campus Bookstore or the Publishing and Copy Centre.
