Give information about the item you require as fully and exactly as possible - this can save a lot of time. Sometimes it is useful to attach a photocopy of your reference. It is impossible to predict how long the material will take to arrive, but you should consider four weeks as the normal period. Collecting the requested items When your book arrives in the Library you will be notified by postcard or by e-mail. Some materials are for reference use in the Library only.
Photocopies are usually for retention.
Please bring the notification postcard and your reader's card with you when you collect your book. The loan period depends on the library from which we have borrowed. For renewals please contact the Inter-Library Loan Department . International Interlending Literature that is not available anywhere in Germany, can be acquired from abroad. There are international loan request forms available for this purpose.
