Also known as Interlibrary Loans, Document Delivery supports the instructional and research needs of the StFX community by borrowing materials which are unavailable at StFX libraries either in print or online.

For On-Campus Borrowers

While viewing an item’s record in Novanet, sign in to your library account. Use your Microsoft credentials/WebFX username and password to sign in.

Click on Resource Sharing.

An online form will open with the details about the item. If the item is a book and you only need a chapter or section, click the checkbox and then fill in the chapter number and pages further down in the form.

Confirm your pickup institution (StFX) and your pickup location (Angus L. Macdonald Library). You need to do this even if you are requesting a digital copy which will be emailed to you.

For Distance Students Living Outside of Nova Scotia

Your local library (whether a university, college, hospital or public library) should be your first resource for locating physical research material. Most local libraries will lend books and allow you to photocopy materials. They may require you to have a CAAL (formerly CAUL) card to borrow books.

A CAAL Card grants you in-person borrowing privileges at most universities in Canada (outside of Nova Scotia) and must be requested from your home library (StFX). If you did not sign up for a CAAL card when you registered or updated your library account online, please contact us at library@stfx.ca to obtain one.  A CAAL card will only be granted to patrons with accounts in good standing.

To borrow material in-person from any Novanet library, you may present your StFX ID card (CAAL card not required) at their Circulation desk.
