Information (I.L.L.) for Borrowing Institutions

All requests should be directed to the Bishop's University Library (QLB). On January 10th, 2007, Bishop's University Library along with a first group of Quebec university libraries (CRÉPUQ) has moved its interlibrary loan operations to the Fretwell-Downing's VDX system. The CRÉPUQ application is called   COLOMBO. This change affects ALL E-Mail addresses used to submit requests and follow-up on ILL transactions: other contact data like telephone, fax, Ariel, delivery addresses, are unchanged. Requests to Bishop's should be done as follows: 

1. Generic script requests - use this E-Mail address: gsm_crepuqe@vdxhost.com
2. ISO "version 2" requests (this excludes AVISO and PEB-UQ systems) - Please contact the COLOMBO system administrator to make sure that ISO testing with your system has been completed before submitting requests: colombo.admin@crepuq.qc.ca
3. Libraries without an ILL Management System or Amicus access:   Use the
   ILL Request Form Québec university libraries.
   For more information about this method, go to
   http://www.uquebec.ca/colombo/form/ILL_Request_Info.htm.

   Important note for libraries without an ILL management system:

   Your library location must be in the COLOMBO database before submitting a request.

   If you do NOT yet have a Library and Archives Canada symbol,

   please obtain a symbol from Library and Archives Canada and then
   complete the Borrowing Library Registration Form before submitting your ILL request.
