Interlibrary loan is a system that allows you to request material from other libraries to be sent to Trent for you to borrow. Normally, there are no costs to use the ILL service. Plan ahead because it can take a few days or even weeks for material to be sent, depending upon availability.

Library Catlaogue Power Search
When you want to find books in the Trent Library, search the Library Catalogue. There's an online tutorial available to tell you about the Library Catalogue.
Use a keyword search to find items on a topic. For instance, to find books on Canadian foreign aid you might search (Canada or Canadian) and foreign and (aid or assistance).
Terminology Notes:
The Library Catalogue uses LCSH (subject headings) in most records, to help us identify items of interest. These can be general or specific, depending on your topic.
Sample subject headings for general topics:
Development Economics
Economic Assistance
Economic Development
International Economic Relations
Non-governmental Organizations
The the Library Catalogue tutorials in the box to the right are an excellent starting point to learn search basics.
