I'm a student taking courses through Thompson Rivers University - Open Learning Division (formerly BCOU). Can I use the SFU Library?

Your SFU Library privileges depend on which TRU-OL course you are taking. If you are taking a TRU-OL course that is being delivered by SFU's Centre for Online and Distance Education you are entitled to use SFU Library's Telebook Service for delivery of SFU items. This information is contained in your TRU-OL letter of registration. Contact the Telebook office (tele@sfu.ca)  if you would like to get your library barcode sent to you so you can access the Library's wide range of electronic resources. Alternatively, if you wish to use the SFU Library in person rather than through Telebook, you can get an SFU Library card at no charge by contacting the Telebook office.

If you are taking a regular TRU-OL course, you can access services through TRU Distance, Regional & Open Learning (DROL) Library Services.

If you are taking a TRU-OL course delivered through UBC or the University of Victoria, library services are through UBC Distance Education Students  or UVic's Infoline Service.

If you are not taking a TRU-OL delivered by SFU but would like to borrow materials in person from the SFU Library, contact TRU Distance, Regional & Open Learning (DROL) Library Services to obtain a COPPUL (Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries) reciprocal borrowing card. This card, when presented at the SFU Circulation/Loans desk along with proof of registration at TRU, will allow you to get an SFU Library card for the semester, with privileges equivalent to external borrowers. You will need to present a new COPPUL card each semester during which you wish to use the SFU Library.
