Document Delivery

Can’t find what you want at Memorial Libraries? If we don't have it, you have options!

  • You can suggest an item the library should add to our collections through the Suggest a Purchase form, or
  • You can request that we seek an item from another library for you to use through a service called Document Delivery.

All students, faculty, staff, and alumni may use our Document Delivery service. Alumni must be able to pick up the item in person at their selected branch. For students, faculty, and staff, we can ship Document Delivery books within Atlantic Canada. If you are a Memorial distance student living outside Atlantic Canada and looking for items we do not own, please use our Suggest a Purchase form.

See below for how to make Document Delivery requests or contact us if you need help.
