What is Patron Initiated Interlibrary Loan?

Newmarket Public Library now offers Patron-Initiated Interlibrary Loan. This system allows you to search the holdings of other Ontario libraries if you cannot find what you need here. You can search the database from home or from Newmarket Public Library.

Go directly to the Patron-Initiated I.L.L. system: http://info.vdxhost.com

   Getting Started

You must have a valid Newmarket Public Library card. Patrons must register for this service by coming to the library to receive a password for interlibrary loans or send your name, library card number, and telephone number in an email to our Interlibrary Loans Department at aref@newmarketpl.ca

We will then contact you with your new password so you are able to access this system.
