Important Information
We are phasing out our use of Relais ILL by December 2025. At that time, you will no longer be able to submit requests through the Relais Portal. For Canadian libraries, our preferred method of receiving requests is through Alma Resource Sharing. For non-Canadian libraries and Canadian libraries that don't have Alma Resource Sharing, we will continue to provide interlibrary loan services through WorldShare ILL and Docline. The Rapido and Tipasa interlibrary loan systems will also connect with us.
