ILL Service for external libraries
November 18, 2024 – Due to Canada Post strike, we cannot proceed with ILL requests for loan service, until further notice. We still proceed the requests for scans/copies.
We currently use OCLC Worldshare Tipasa. If your ILL system is not compatible, you can send an ILL request for loan or copy by filling out the form below.
How to send ILL requests
Before using the form for the first time, a login account is needed.
Create an account
- Fill out the registration form for your library
- Our team will create your account and send you a confirmation email with instructions for account activation. Please note a delay is possible
- Complete the registration in the next 24 hours after receiving the email
Send an ILL request
With your account, you will be able to send us an ILL request by this form.
Please note the old Colombo VDX form is no longer used, and ILL requests cannot be sent by email.
Exclusions
- Entire online books
- CD-roms
- Games, toys and other didactic material
- Documents in-library use only
- Documents in reserve
- Rare and special collections
We may refuse an ILL request for other reasons, such as fragility, research or patrimonial value, or use.
