June 21 | New Interlibrary Loan System now live!
The new ILL system is now live! Find out how to use it and how to view and manage your ILL requests.
Original post published June 13, 2022
Colombo, the system used for managing interlibrary loan (ILL) requests, will be replaced by a new system integrated into the Library’s Sofia Discovery tool (i.e. Library catalogue) beginning June 21, 2022.
As of June 21, your ILL requests will be made directly in Sofia, using the “Request via Interlibrary Loan” button or using the request form that will be available in your Library user account (“My Account”).
Your ILL requests
Beginning June 21, you will be able to view and manage your new ILL requests in your Library account in the catalogue, and you will no longer have access to your Colombo account.
Please note that your current ILL requests already made through Colombo will remain active and will be managed by the Library’s Interlibrary Loan service in Colombo until they are completed.
On June 21, look out for more updates including additional resources and a link to the new system.
If you have any questions related to your Colombo account or the ILL service, please don’t hesitate to contact us at ill.library [at] mcgill.ca.
