Borrowing from other universities (BCI card)

The BCI (Bureau de coopération interuniversitaire) card is available to all students registered in a program as well as to all teaching and non-teaching staff. BCI card holders can borrow documents from other libraries in Quebec and from participating libraries in Canada.

The BCI card is issued on September 30th of each year for the duration of one year ; therefore, a new card must be requested each year. Come visit us at the circulation desk to obtain one.
