Interlibrary Loans

AST students, faculty and staff only.

If a book or a journal article is not available at the AST library, you can place a request with another library.

There are two methods:

  1. Interlibrary Loans

• If the item is not available at AST or other Novanet libraries, you can request it through our Interlibrary Loans service
• AST Students can request up to a maximum of 15 items per term. AST Thesis and Graduate Seminar students can request up to a maximum of 25 items per term
• Items may take 2-3 weeks to arrive
• If fees are involved, you will be contacted by the library before a request is placed
• Articles will be emailed to you or you will receive notification when a book is ready for pick up at the Circulation Desk. Interlibrary Loan items must be returned to the Circulation Desk by the due date

  2. Novanet Express

• If the item is in the Novanet/Online catalogue, you can use Novanet Express. This is a free service and takes 3-5 business days
• E-books cannot be requested
