Borrowing from Other Libraries

 
Canada

UM Libraries participates in the Canadian University Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement (CURBA). This agreement provides UML students, faculty and staff with free borrowing privileges at participating libraries that are members of the following consortia:

COPPUL - Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries
OCUL - Ontario Council of University Libraries
BCI - Bureau de Coopération Interuniversitaire (formerly CREPUQ)
CAUL - Council of Atlantic University Libraries

To borrow at another Canadian post-secondary institution UM borrowers must first obtain a COPPUL card with an expiry date, available at any UM library service desk.

Borrowing privileges and regulations vary from institution to institution. For instance, undergraduates may borrow from most but not all Canadian university libraries. The University of Toronto Library policy for visiting faculty, staff and students is more restrictive.
