Circulation Privileges

McNair students have graduate student privileges. You may check out books for 120 days (renewable once); you may also check out journals for fivedays (no renewals). Books you have checked out may be recalled by another person (and vice versa) after two weeks of use.

InterLibrary Loan Privileges

If the NDSU Library does not have the book or journal you need, we will borrow it or obtain a photocopy from another library or commercial document supply service. There may be a charge for obtaining books or patents, but there is currently no charge for journal articles. There are a number of ways to request InterLibrary Loan services:

• Fill out a request form on the Web.
• Fill out an InterLibrary loan request form and return it to the InterLibrary Loan office.
