NorQuest College Library is a NEOS library. This means your library card (student ID card) will allow you to borrow items from all NEOS libraries
NEOS is a cooperative library consortium consisting of government, hospital, college and university libraries throughout Alberta.
NEOS libraries share a library system and their resources.
NEOS means you will have access to an estimated seven million items that you can request from your desktop with delivery to the NorQuest library.
NEOS means you can become familiar with the same library system used at many post secondary institutions like the University of Alberta and MacEwan University.

The personal information you provide to the college is collected under the authority of Section 33(c) of the Alberta Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. It will be used to create your NorQuest Library account.
Because NEOS is a library consortium, the personal information listed above will be shared with library partners for the purpose of identity verification in order to facilitate material loan and other library services at NorQuest and partner libraries.
The risk to you is minimal. It is similar to requesting a public library account. You need to provide your name and contact information and in return, you are granted borrowing privileges. NEOS is no different.
Libraries adhere to an ethos of confidentiality; libraries do everything possible to protect the privacy of the people who use their services.
If you do not provide your consent your personal information will not be transferred to the NEOS library system. As a result, you will not have borrowing privileges across the NEOS library consortium; you will not be able to place ‘holds’ on NorQuest or non-NorQuest materials.
