Watch the videos below to learn how to access resources from other NEOS libraries. If the book you want is available, it can be sent to Concordia for you to borrow. Articles and single chapters are typically sent for download via email.

Can I go to another NEOS library and borrow books?

Yes! You must bring your current student or staff ID card to the checkout. There are some exceptions, for example Local Loan or Reserve items, that cannot be loaned to CUE borrowers. Ask CUE Library staff or contact the other library to confirm whether or not the item you want is available.

Register for an L-Pass

  • If you live in Edmonton and have proof of address, you can get a regular EPL card free online (instead of an L-Pass). 

Why should Education students get an L-Pass or an EPL card?
