Interlibrary Loan

Alumni can register for Interlibrary Loan/RACER privileges. Registration is available through Brock's RACER interlibrary loan management system. Alumni cards need to be activated at the Library's Circulation Services Desk. Alumni are responsible for all charges imposed by the lending library. These charges may include lending, photocopying, copyright, shipping, or brokerage fees, and must be paid when items are picked up.  Due to copyright and licence restrictions, alumni are not eligible for document delivery of journal articles or photocopies of chapters from books. Contact Interlibrary Loan staff for further information.
