Throughout 2024-25, NEOS libraries will introduce a new way for students, faculty, and staff to search and find library resources. Our shared catalogue is in the process of being decommissioned as partner libraries leave in stages. Some items in this catalogue will no longer allow holds or show other errors. 

For more information see:

https://neoslibraries.ca/changes-to-borrowing-at-neos-member-libraries/

This webpage is a work in progress as NEOS Libraries migrate and introduce their new catalogues and create processes for placing requests to borrow their items. 

If an item is available in another NEOS library's catalogue, but you cannot seem to place a hold in the current Vanguard Library catalogue, you have two options:

• Interlibrary Loan: request the item by sending a detailed email to Vanguard Library staff. The item will be borrowed from the owning library and made available at the Vanguard desk. Please give staff at least 5 business days. 

• NEOS borrower: visit the library that owns the item in person, set up a reciprocal account at that library, and borrow directly from the owning library. Please return the item to the owning library you borrowed it from if possible.

Questions?? Just send us an email.
