In order for you to have access to our journal databases, electronic books and interlibrary loan service your borrowing privileges must be updated every semester. You can do this online by completing the Library Borrowing Privileges Application.

In such cases, please insert a "0" into the space reserved for the bar code number. For the field labeled My primary campus is: please choose UofL Distance.

- Interlibrary loan service is dependent on where you live.
- Distance M.Ed./Distance Master of Counselling Students who are living within Alberta and at least 90 km outside of Lethbridge may request both types of Interlibrary Loans (e.g. books or journal articles).
- Journal articles are sent electronically to your email address. You must return all other library loans to the University of Lethbridge Library by their due dates using the same delivery methods we used to send them to you (e.g. Canada Post, private courier, etc.).
- The Library may restrict requests only to Canadian locations.
- Distance M.Ed./Distance Master of Counselling students who are living outside of Alberta and Canada may request copies of journal articles or chapters of books which will sent electronically to your email address.
- The Library is unable to offer Interlibrary Loan services involving other libraries' books because the borrowing time granted by other institutions is insufficient for sending, using and returning materials.
- For these students, the Library is happy to provide you with library cards permitting direct use of libraries in your area. For more information on these cards, see the section above: Library Cards for Distance M.Ed./Distance Master of Counselling Students.
- Unfortunately, these cards (the TAL card and the COPPUL card) are not valid outside of Canada. In some cases libraries outside of Canada may request a formal letter from us requesting library service on your behalf. Please contact us if you require this kind of documentation outside of Canada.
