In-Person Borrowing from Other Libraries

With a Council of Atlantic Academic Libraries (CAAL) Borrowing Card, Memorial University faculty, students, and staff may borrow materials from any CAAL-CBPA institution in the Atlantic provinces, as well as from Canadian academic libraries that participate in the Canadian University Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement (CURBA).

Pick up your CAAL Card at the service desk of most Memorial Libraries branches. DistancePlus borrowers can contact qeiiplus@mun.ca or hslill@mun.ca to obtain a card.

Using your CAAL Card

Make sure the library you want to borrow from is a participating library. You will need to show both your CAAL Card and your university ID when borrowing at other institutions. You will usually have the same borrowing terms as students at that institution, though there may be some exceptions. Check with the lending library if you have questions.

You can return items to any CAAL-CBPA or CURBA member library.

Visitors from other institutions

If you’re a visitor to Memorial Libraries with a reciprocal borrowing card, visit any library service desk to register for a library account. You’ll have all the borrowing privileges you would at your own institution, with the exception of Document Delivery.
