Borrowing from Other Libraries

Did you know that if the Brock Library does not own a copy of a book or have access to a particular article or other item, you can borrow from another library at no additional charge?

Requests can be submitted through Omni. Sign-in to your Library account. If you click on a record and the item is available through a partner institution, click 'Get it from another library'.
