Can SFU students borrow books from other BC colleges and universities?

Yes.

There is a reciprocal borrowing agreement with BC colleges and universities (via the BC division of the Council of Post Secondary Library Directors (CPSLD), whereby SFU students, faculty and staff can borrow books from many non-SFU Library institutions.

Simon Fraser University students and faculty will need to show their SFU ID and verify themselves online at the checkout counter of the non-SFU Library by:

  1. Signing into the Library Catalogue and going to the "My Library account" section.
  2. Under Personal Details, viewing the account expiry date.  If the account is not expired, the student or faculty member is considered enrolled or employed at SFU.

Note: Local non-SFU Library borrowing restrictions will apply.
