If an item is currently unavailable, you can request the item from another Omni library. To request material: 

1. Select “ On Loan - Get it from another library” 

2. If you are picking up from another Omni library, you must change “Preferred Pickup Institution” to the correct university and library location. 

  • Once you select the required university, a new drop down menu will appear where you can select a corresponding library location. 
  • Please make note that “Preferred Local Pickup Location” will still require a selection of a LU library, just in case there are issues sending your item to another University for pickup. This is unlikely, but we will contact you if there are any issues with your request.
  • Select “send request.”

4. If you are picking up from an LU library, you will leave “Preferred Pickup Institution” as “Lakehead University.” 

  • Next you will select which LU library you want under “Preferred Local Pickup Location."
  • Select “send request.”
