If RDP doesn’t have the book or article I need, how do I get it? (Place Hold and Interlibrary Loan)
Answer
RDP Library can get items from other libraries for you, for free!
Place Hold
For items owned by Red Deer Polytechnic Library which are checked out to another user, place a hold on the item within the Library Catalogue, using your iCard barcode and NEOS PIN.
You'll receive an email (to your RDP email address) when your hold is ready for pick-up at the Red Deer Polytechnic Library Desk.
Interlibrary Loan
Place an Interlibrary Loan Request for items not owned by Red Deer Polytechnic.
Please note that we may be unable to fulfill some ILL requests.
If we are able to fulfill your ILL request, it could take 1 to 3 weeks to arrive. Delivery dates are out of our control.
You'll receive an email (to your RDP email address) when your item is ready for pick-up at the Red Deer Polytechnic Library Desk.
