The information you submit to us is all we need to make an informed selection, so please don't deliver or send us a review copy of the material. It won't be added to our collection, and it won't improve the chances of your suggestion being selected.

All unsolicited books, CDs and other items we receive are treated as donated materials: they may be included in the library's book sale, donated to charities, or recycled, in accordance with RPL's Collections Policy.

The library is not obligated to inform donors about the disposition of their donations.

The information you submit will be used to determine if your author submission will be added to our collection.

While we'd love to reply to each request individually, we aren't able to because of the high volume and variety of requests we receive. If you are interested in seeing what we have added to our Collection, please check out our online catalogue!

Magazine articles

• You can request photocopies of magazine articles through interlibrary loan. Please search for the title of the magazine or journal in our E-Journal Portal before submitting your request — we might already have digital access to the article you’re looking for.
• If you still can't find what you are looking for, feel free to submit a request. Keep in mind that our article-sharing partners are Canadian academic and special libraries, so they’ll have access to academic journals, not popular magazines.
• Digital copies are provided in PDF format, free of charge. Print copies will be subject to our usual charges for printing.

Microfilm:

NOTE: Microfilm is temporarily unavailable

• You can select Microform as the format of the item and then fill an as much information as you can.
• Please note that microfilms will only be sent to RPL’s Central Library, where our microfilm readers and printers are kept. 

We’ll make every attempt to fulfill your requests, but we can’t guarantee that each attempt will be successful. If a title has already been submitted and gone through the request process once, and has been deemed unsuitable for our collection, or isn’t available through interlibrary loan, it won’t be considered again — even if it’s been submitted several times.

Interlibrary loan is primarily used for books, magazine articles, and back issues of newspapers on microfilm. The following things are not available through interlibrary loan:

• Items available or on-order in our catalogue, including musical instruments
• Books published in the current or previous calendar year
• DVDs, videos, audiobooks, CDs, and other audio-visual and multimedia items
• Whole issues of magazines
• Items that are not available in Canadian libraries

You can submit up to 10 purchase and/or interlibrary loan requests per month.

• Picking up interlibrary loans:
  • You can pick up and return interlibrary loan items at any RPL location.
• Renewing interlibrary loans:
  • Renewals are up to the lending library. Please contact library staff if you wish to renew your interlibrary loan. Renewals must be requested at least two days before the item is due back.
• Returning interlibrary loans:
  • You can return your item to any Saskatchewan public library. Your library account will be billed for the replacement cost of the unreturned item. If you return the item in good condition the replacement cost will be removed from your account.
