What is NEOS?
NEOS is a consortium of government, health, college and university libraries that cooperate to share library resources, technology, collections and people.
What can NEOS do for me?
Staff, students and faculty of any NEOS member library may borrow from other NEOS libraries. Books, serials, and select videos belonging to NEOS libraries, including those of the University of Alberta, are listed in the NEOS Library Consortium Catalogue.
What is the NEOS Library Consortium Catalogue?
The NEOS Library Consortium Catalogue is the online library catalogue that you search when you visit any of the NEOS member libraries.
How do I request a book that I want from another NEOS library?"
When you find a book that you want from another NEOS library, you may request the book yourself using the NEOS Library Consortium Catalogue request feature, or go to the Circulation Desk and ask that the book be requested for you. If the book is available, it will be sent to the NEOS library you choose as your pickup location.
Can I go to another NEOS library and borrow books?
Yes! Just show your valid NEOS library card and, provided you are in good standing, you will be able to borrow books on site at any NEOS library. There are some exceptions. Please contact individual NEOS libraries for details.
See the NEOS FAQ for further information.
