ILL Request Form Now on Web

The National Library of Canada's Interlibrary Loan Division has introduced an interactive Web form for requesting interlibrary loans. This form allows libraries registered with the ILL Division to send interlibrary loan requests to the National Library via the Internet.

To use this form, libraries must have a valid library symbol, a user name and a password. The symbol, name and password are assigned by the National Library when the library registers with the ILL Division.

• Libraries that use Envoy can continue to use Envoy or can use the Web form.
• Libraries that use AMICUS/ILL can use the Web form for items that do not have records in the AMICUS database.

Libraries that can send requests with an ILL software package based on the ILL protocol are asked not to use the Web form. The form is not available to individuals.

To register as a user of the ILL Web request form, please complete the form at the Library's Web site (www.collectionscanada.ca/ill/s16-200-e.html). The one-time registration process is done by electronic mail only.
