Interlibrary Loan

Any organization or institution outside USP-CEU, Spanish or foreign, can make an interlibrary loan request to the Library.

The Library, through its interlibrary loan (ILL) service, offers any Spanish or foreign library the possibility of providing them with documentation from the Library's collections.

Any type of bibliographic material can be requested in any support: (except those typified as special).

• Photocopies of journal articles or books, always respecting the Intellectual Property Law.
• Loan of books published after 1960.
• Published doctoral theses or with authorization for consultation.

Excluded from the interlibrary loan service:

• Reference works or works of the current year.
• Complete serial publications.
• Old, rare and precious documents.
• Out-of-print modern documents that are difficult to replace.
• Highly consulted documents or documents of which the library has only one copy.
• Unpublished theses and dissertations, unless they are duplicated and prior permission has been obtained from the author.
• Atlases, slides, films, drawings, prints, and the like.
• Other documents that, at the Library's discretion, must be specially preserved.

In any case, such materials may only be provided by digitization, whenever possible.

The rates for external users established for photocopies and the loan of originals follow the agreements of the interlibrary loan group REBIUN.

The document request will be made through the Document Retrieval Service SOD-GTbib. You must register as a center first and after receiving an email accepting your request you will be able to make requests.

The applicant must be responsible for the proper use of the documents and their use will be for research and teaching purposes in accordance with the Intellectual Property Law.

The duration of the loan of documents will be 1 month and a half, with the possibility of requesting an extension.
