Novanet Requests

Borrowing from other libraries within the Novanet consortium couldn't be easier.
  • Go to the Novanet Catalogue.
  • Sign into your Novanet Account (top right).
  • Use the search bar to find the item you're looking for.
  • Click on the link to "Request from library."
  • Fill out the form as prompted to pick up from your nearest location.
  • You will receive an email when the item is available to be picked up.

A list of all items you request can be monitored through your Novanet Account.

Interlibrary Loans and Document Delivery

Materials that can't be found through the Novanet Catalogue can be requested from libraries worldwide through the Interlibrary Loan Service.

If there's an item that can't be found by searching Novanet, you can fill out the request form for an Interlibrary Loan.

  • Sign into Relais Document Delivery Services.
    • User Login: this is the 14 digit barcode number (eg 29370... ) on your King's ID.
    • Password: the default is the last 4 digits of your phone number on file with the Library. (Note: If your phone number includes an extension number the password may be the 3 digit extension number.)
  • Select "Add Request: Book" for a loan, or "Add Request: Article" for a copy.
  • Fill in as much bibliographic information as possible for the quickest response and highest accuracy.
    • Please include ISBN or ISSN whenever possible.
  • Your name and email address should upload by default, but please make sure they are correct.
  • Select appropriate "Delivery Method": Pickup for Loans; Email for Articles or Chapters.
  • Submit the request.

A confirmation number will be generated and emailed to the registered email.

Because this will come from any number of libraries from around the world, there is no average estimated time of arrival, but patrons can expect a minimum of two weeks before receiving a confirmation email to pick up the item.

If you require an item urgently or have any questions regarding the forms or submitting requests, please contact the circulation desk staff at the Library

Interlibrary Loans and Document Delivery from outside the Novanet Consortium are limited only to current students, faculty and staff at this time.
