Q. I live in Langley and have an alumni ID card. Is it possible to withdraw a book from the main campus through the library at the King George campus? There is only one copy of the book.

A. Yes, you may indeed request books to be transferred from Belzberg (Vancouver) & Bennett (Burnaby) to the Fraser Library in Surrey and vice versa. Please see link below for more information about SFU Library services to alumni:

Q. Hello there, I’m a full-time worker at Port Coquitlam, and I’d like to apply for a book renting card at SFU library, can you please tell me can I appy it at SFU, if yes, how can I make an application? And another question is that as a purchaser I’d like to borrow some books in purchasing, production & inventory control, or supply chain management, do you have such books in your library? Please advise me.
Regards,

A. Hi

We do have external borrowers cards available for purchase at any of the three SFU campus libraries (Burnaby, Surrey or Vancouver). You would need a piece of photo ID to show to staff when purchasing the card. Information on cost and loan privileges can be found by clicking on the hypertext link below.

As far as books on inventory control, etc. – if you search inventory control as a subject in the online catalogue you will see we have a fair number of books on the subject. We also have lots of material on purchasing and production. If you need help finding books you can get help from one of the liaison librarians either in person at the Ask Us Desk or virtually via chat or email. Click on the link below for more information.

Q. Hi,

A suggestion to have the the list of books checked out as displayed in My Library (i.e. My Library Record webpage) to be sorted ascending by due date. From a technical standpoint, I imagine it would be trivial to implement. Thanks.

A. Hello – By default, the system sorts the books checked out by check-out date. If you wish to re-sort the list by due date, please click on the icon at top-right, labelled as “Sort by Due Date”.

Thanks,
Frances

Q. I am not an SFU student, however, I’m interested in renting some books. Is this service only for SFU Students? If not, how can I go about getting a number?

A. Hello – Many thanks for contacting the SFU Library and for your interest in our collections at the Fraser Library. If you are not a SFU student, faculty, staff, or alumna, you can purchase an external borrower card from us. For rates and other information about the external borrower card, please see the link below.

Best regards,

Q. Hello,
The book “Research Methods for Criminal Justice and Criminology” is on reserve at the Burnaby campus. There are supposed to be two copies of this book; however, one of the copies has not been returned since December. Is there anyway for the library to purchase another copy of the book? Thank you,

A. Hi, We will see if we can buy another copy.

Q. I am an Alumni and cannot find my card at the moment; however, I need
a book  from the library. Is it possible to take out the book without my card?

A. You can use other photo ID (driver’s license, passport, BC ID, etc.) to check out a book once a semester.
If you are going to make regular use of the library and cannot find your card, you can get a replacement card at Student Services (in the Maggie Benston Centre across from the library) for a small fee.

Q. I have a book out from the library and it’s been requested back (not sure if this differs from a regular return), can I return it to any location? It’s due Thursday, and I took it out from Burnaby but I’d like to return it to Surrey asap if possible.
