Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a service that allows us to borrow and lend materials from other libraries usually at no cost. This service is available to all students and employees of NTCC.  For more information, click on the link to be redirected to the ILL page.

If an article or book is not readily available, please click on the ILL button (on the right of the item desired), or please contact the Reference Librarian, Heather Shaw, to submit an ILL request.
