Information for borrowing institutions

Requests

All requests should be directed to the Webster Library (CDN) including those for material that is located at the Vanier Library. Please consult our Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Lending policy. Concordia University Library, along with all other Quebec university libraries (PBUQ), is using the OCLC Tipasa Interlibrary Loan system.

For requests to Concordia for libraries without an ILL management system, please fill out our secure online forms:

• Pre-registration is required:
  Before making your first loan request to one of Quebec's university libraries (BUQ) via the new request form, you must register your establishment by following these steps.
  • Complete the registration form
  • Activate your new account password when you receive the password management email. This e-mail may take a few days to arrive.
  • Once these steps taken you can subsequently submit lending requests to any of the BUQ libraries.
• Borrowing requests:
  
  • To request a loan from Concordia Library, please fill in the request form.
  • Please note that only one BUQ can be selected for each request, so if your request to Concordia University Library is not supplied, you will have to fill in the form again to submit it to another BUQ.
