Requests
for Loan
ALMA Libraries
Locate "Mount Royal University" within the Resource Sharing Partners screen in Alma and add us as a partner. Once you have done so, please send an email to illacmr@mtroyal.ca to confirm. We will then ensure that your institution is correctly configured in our system.
Relais Libraries
Please update your ACMR Library profile to reflect the changes shown in these screenshots. The initial request will be sent directly to our Alma instance, and you'll receive update notifications via the institutional email we have on file. After that, you'll need to manually update the request in your Relais instance.
WorldShare Users
No changes needed. We’ve automated a process to bring requests into Alma and will manually update the status within WorldShare, allowing us to process your requests efficiently.
Tipasa Users
Please send requests through Worldshare.
Other Systems or No System
If your institution utilizes a different system or does not have an automated ILL system, please submit your requests via the following online form:
