If you borrowed an item from another library, the process for renewing or returning that item might be different than for items from the Algonquin College Library.

Read the instructions below:

• Renew items
• Return items

Renewals

If you want to extend the borrowing period and keep an item for a little longer, you can do so by renewing it.

Note: material that is borrowed from another library directly or through Interlibrary Loan are subject to the owning library’s policy on renewals.

Below are the methods of renewing items for each borrowing method:

• Direct Borrowing: If you borrowed directly from a SmartLibrary Participating Library, the Canadian Conservation Institute (CCI) or another Ontario College Library, contact the lending library before the due date of your item.

• Interlibrary Loan (ILL): Contact the campus where you requested the loan before the due date:
  • Ottawa: illwood@algonquicollege.com  (613) 727-4723 ext. 5282
  • Pembroke: illpemb@algonquincollege.com (613) 735-4700 ext. 2707
  • Perth: illpert@algonquincollege.com (613) 267-2859 ext. 5644

Borrowers with overdue materials will be assessed fines as per the owning library’s policies. Any fines will be assigned to their Algonquin Library account.

• SmartLibrary: Borrowers should return all items directly to the lending library.
