UFV/Library/Services/Interlibrary Loans/Information for Libraries

Information for Libraries

We use OCLC Relais as our interlibrary loans management system.

For sites with an ILL management system:

  • For Relais and other systems using Generic Script messaging, please configure your system settings to send requests to ill_gsm@ufv.ca
  • For sites using ISO compliant systems that have tested with BCLF, please configure your system settings to send requests to ill_iso@ufv.ca. If your library uses an ISO compliant system but has not tested with BCLF, please contact us at ill@ufv.ca or (604) 864-4678.
Please adjust your settings as soon as possible.

For sites without an ILL management system:

You can submit your requests using our Library Request Form. In order to use the form, you must:

  • Have registered with us (send an email to ill@ufv.ca); and
  • Have received confirmation with your login/symbol and password.

If you have a Library and Archives Canada or OCLC symbol, we will use that as your login. Otherwise, we will create one for you to use.

Note: You must enter your symbol in UPPER CASE; the system is case sensitive. You can contact BCLF directly for more information.
