Interlibrary Loan
The Libraries of Niagara College are happy to act on your behalf to get materials not available at our Libraries. Come to your Campus Library and speak to the staff. They will help you fill out a request form and will give you guidance as to how soon you can get it. It really helps us if you can provide us with as much information as possible.
