Overview
Faculty, staff and students of Concordia University may be eligible to borrow items in person from other Canadian libraries as described below.
To borrow from other university libraries, it is first necessary to obtain a CREPUQ card (Conférence des recteurs et principaux des universités du Québec) card from Concordia University Libraries, which can be obtained at the Circulation Desk of Vanier or Webster Library.
When borrowing from other university libraries, please take note of the following:
- The borrower must identify himself/herself to the lending library by means of a CREPUQ card as well as provide appropriate personal identification (picture ID) for registration.
- In requesting a CREPUQ card, the borrower is acknowledging that he/she will respect the policies and procedures of the lending library, including returns and fines policies.
- All fines, replacement costs, and other fees are based upon the policies of the lending library. The borrower in arrears may reestablish his/her borrowing privileges once all fines and fees are paid to the lending library.
- Borrowed material may be returned at the returns counter of the lending library or to the returns counter of the borrower's home library.
Graduate Students, Faculty and Staff
Concordia University graduate students in Masters, Doctoral or eligible diploma programs, faculty and staff holding a CREPUQ card are entitled to the same borrowing privileges as those granted to undergraduate students, external or other categories of borrowers, as the case may be. In addition, by virtue of a special agreement amongst the Quebec university libraries, Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ) is also part of the Agreement.
Upon presentation of a valid Concordia ID card, students, faculty and staff, in good standing, may obtain a CREPUQ card at the Webster or Vanier libraries' circulation desks during service hours.
