Visiting Faculty & Students — Borrowing

Reciprocal Borrowing

We have borrowing agreements with other universities across North America that allow some visitors to borrow in person from any Western Libraries location and the Affiliated University Colleges Libraries.

You can also request access to the wireless network.

Students and Staff from Omni Universities

Current students, faculty, and staff from Ontario Universities part of the Omni partnership are able to walk-in to any Omni member library and borrow by presenting a valid university card at any Wesern and Affiliare Libraries service desk.
