Borrowing Books from other Libraries

There are two ways to borrow books from other libraries. In Omni, you may request any print book held by another Omni library. Exceptions include non-circulating books such as reference works and course textbooks and e-books. If the book is not available in an Omni library, you may request it using the interlibrary loan form in Omni. Queen's students and faculty may also borrow books in person from other Ontario university libraries. See our "Reciprocal Borrowing" guide for details.
