Information for Public Patrons
Borrowing
Members of the public are welcome to use the MacRae Library
and borrow materials. There are two types of memberships
available to the public: NSAC off-campus borrower or Novanet
off-campus borrower.
NSAC off-campus borrower's card
NSAC off-campus borrowers (OCB) must register at the Circulation
Desk in the library by presenting two pieces of ID and filling
out an NSAC off-campus borrowers card. You will receive
an NSAC off-campus borrowers card which must be presented
each time to sign out books.
NSAC OCB's may only check out books and other circulating
material from the NSAC collection.You must purchase a Novanet
off-campus borrower's card if you wish to borrow or request
an item from a different library.
Cards expire yearly and it is your responsibility to ensure
they are renewed with the correct address information. Cards
expire September 30 of each year.
NSAC off-campus borrower's cards are free.
Novanet off-campus borrower's card
The same procedures above apply to obtain a Novanet off-campus
borrower's card, except there is a $35 fee. The fee must
be paid every year you wish to renew your Novanet off-campus
borrower's card.
Novanet off-campus borrower's may request items from other
university libraries in the Novanet Library consortium by
using the Novanet Express feature. Instructions
for placing a Novanet Express can be found here.
Interlibrary Loans
Currently, we do not offer an Interlibrary Loans service
to off-campus patrons.
Loan Periods
Loan periods are outlined below. Books may be renewed up
to 3 times, after which they must be placed back on the
