Interlibrary Loans for Non-NDU Personnel


For Individual Borrowers:
Your supporting library, whether public library, office library or school library, is able to borrow materials from the NDU Library and/or other libraries. Print the record(s) you want, take it to your local library, and ask them to interlibrary loan the materials for you.

 For Institutions:

  • OCLC Symbol: NDU (enter NDU twice in lender string)
  • Requests accepted via OCLC, ALA (American Library Association) form, and fax (202-685-3733).
  • Charges: Loans and copies are free to reciprocal libraries as mission permits
