What is Interlibrary Loan (ILL)?

If you are looking for books or articles not held in the NOSM University collection, these items can be requested via Interlibrary Loan. This service is free to all NOSM University learners, staff, and faculty members.

ILL services are also available to NOSM University Alumni at a cost of $10 per request.

Before Ordering

Check if you have access to an item first through the Health Sciences Library – catalogue, e-books, and e-journals.

Placing a Request

Please email your citations to askthelibrary@nosm.ca. A library team member will follow up with you within 24 hours (Monday-Friday).
