The purpose of Interlibrary Loan -ILL is to make available for study and research, materials not available in the BCIT Library. Through interlibrary cooperation it is possible for you to obtain materials, either as loans or copies, which complement and augment the BCIT library collection. All BCIT employees are eligible to receive free ILL service. The Library will do its best to meet interlibrary loan request timelines, however it normally requires a minimum of 2 weeks to obtain requests. All borrowing and lending ILL requests are forwarded to the Burnaby Campus Library.
Forms are available at any campus branch library.
Loan periods range from 3 hours to one week. Faculty owned materials will be subject to library labeling. Submit requests early. New books purchases for the Reserve Collection take from 6-8 weeks. To place items on Reserve, please complete a Reserve Material Request Form from the Circulation Department of your campus library and submit it, together with selected material, to the Circulation Department.
