General Information
We are transitioning away from Racer to a new Alma ILL system
If you haven't already submitted a request with our new system, please ensure that your library has been set up as an ILL partner. Use the Omni New ILL Partner Form to request to be added as a partner.
If you have been set up, use the OCUL Interlibrary Loan request form to submit your request to most OCUL libraries.
Please note: This form is for use by libraries without an interlibrary loan management system or by libraries with a system that does not interoperate with Alma. If your library has a system that sends ISO messages, please do not use the form. Contact ocul-cf@ocul.on.ca for information on system-to-system messaging.
