Requesting books

Quebec university libraries

If there is a book you need that is available at Concordia, but it is on hold or checked out by another user, you will be able to see if it is available through another Quebec university library. In the example below, all Concordia copies are in use, however, you can see that it is "Available from Bibliothèques universitaires du Québec". Click the Request button to request the book from the Quebec university library network.

Select a pick-up location and click on Submit to complete your request.

If you search for a specific book in Sofia, and determine that it is not available through Concordia, try expanding your search to include available books offered through other Quebec university libraries. Select the "Bibliothèques universitaires du Québec" filter under "Library" in the left menu.

If it is available through another Quebec university library, you will see the text, "Available from Bibliothèques universitaires du Québec", along with a Request button.

Simply select the Request button if you would like to request the book. Complete the request form by selecting the desired pick-up location and click on Submit to complete your request.
