Distance Borrowing

If you live outside the Greater Edmonton Area, you may request items from the NorQuest Library to be mailed to you. Items will be shipped via Canada Post with a return label included, at no cost to you.

However, Reserve materials are not available for loan. If you are in need of a textbook, it can be purchased online through The Core (NorQuest's bookstore). You can also use Scan on Demand request form to ask for a single chapter of a book.
