Faculty-researchers, including Scholars in Residence<\/a>, at Dawson College may be eligible to borrow items in person from certain Quebec university libraries by requesting a PBUQ Card (formerly known as a CREPUQ or BCI Card) from the Partenariat des biblioth\u00e8ques universitaires du Qu\u00e9bec<\/a>.<\/p>\n When borrowing from university libraries, please take note of the following:<\/p>\n PBUQ cards are valid from October 1st to September 30th.<\/p>\n At the beginning of the academic year, the Research Office sends out a call to all faculty to renew or apply for a PBUQ card. During this period, an online form is made available and must be completed by the deadline indicated. Please note that the Research Office only processes PBUQ card requests once a year.<\/strong> If the PBUQ application deadline is missed, print materials from other institutions may be accessed by making an Inter-Library Loan (ILL) request from the Dawson Library. To access digital materials, a guest account (compte passant<\/em>) may be requested directly from the lending institution.<\/p>\n It takes 6-8 weeks from the application deadline to receive the cards<\/strong>. Once the cards have arrived, the Research Office will send an email to notify the faculty-researcher.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
