Borrowing Items from NU Library
Borrowing privileges for items in Northwestern Libraries' physical collections (e.g., books, DVDs, VHS tapes) are limited to full-year OLLI members. The loan period is 4 weeks and maximum number of items that you may have checked out in your account is 100. After locating the desired item in the library catalog NUsearch, borrowers request the item by signing in with their NetID, password, and completing the multi-factor authentication step.(See the document below, Borrowing Instruction steps, for complete details.) Items can be picked up at the Main Library Circulation Desk in Evanston. Book return bins are located on the Chicago campus (in the 320 E. Superior Street building lobby, near the security desk) and at the Main Library entrance in Evanston. Questions? Email librarian Tracy Coyne at tracy-coyne@northwestern.edu
