Full library services are available to students and instructors involved in Northcentral Technical College Distance Education courses.

Borrowing Materials

Your student ID number serves as your library user number. If you are a member of the general public, you will need to provide your contact information to become a registered library user.

You can search the NTC Online Public Access Catalog to locate materials in our library collection. To request materials, please call 1.888.NTC.7144 or 715.675.3331, Ext. 4054, or e-mail lib@ntc.edu.

Interlibrary Loan

If you cannot find materials in our library catalog, please search WISCAT (the online catalog for Wisconsin libraries). Submit your request by calling 1.888.NTC.7144 or 715.675.3331, Ext. 4055, e-mailing lib@ntc.edu or faxing 715.675.9776. Materials can be picked up at any of our regional campuses or mailed to your home. Please allow up to 7-14 days to receive these items.

Accessing Databases

An NTC network logon is required to access many of the NTC databases from off campus. This is the same logon and password that you use to access an NTC computer when working on campus. If you link to the online databases through the NTC library's Find Articles page it will automatically ask you for your NTC logon and password if you are off-campus. Students who have forgotten their password, or need to change it, should go to my>NTC and follow the instructions there. If you are asked to supply an additional “UserID/Password” please call 1.888.NTC.7144 or 715.675.3331 Ext. 4115.

NTC visitors have direct access to BadgerLink at http://www.badgerlink.net , but do not have off-campus access to most of the other databases provided by the NTC library. If you are unable to access BadgerLink please refer to the instructions under BadgerLink Help on the BadgerLink page. BadgerLink is unable to recognize Wisconsin computers that use certain Internet Service Providers. You may need to type your public library card number as a password before you can enter BadgerLink using those providers.
