How the Interlibrary Loan service works
The use of the Interlibrary Loan service involves two distinct stages:
- Registration for Interlibrary Loan Cooperation
To activate access to the service, users are required to submit once the Interlibrary Loan Cooperation Form
This form concerns the user’s registration to the interlibrary loan cooperation scheme, the acceptance of the service terms, and the activation of eligibility to place interlibrary loan requests.
- Submission of an Interlibrary Loan Request
For each specific item requested from a partner library, a separate request form must be submitted, depending on the type of material:
- Interlibrary Loan – Book Request Form
- Interlibrary Loan – Journal Article Request Form
These forms are submitted each time new material is requested and apply exclusively to the specific book or article.
Before submitting any request, users are advised to consult the Library catalogue and available electronic resources to ensure that the material is not already accessible.
Delivery of material and terms of use
Processing time, loan period, renewal options, and any restrictions are determined by the lending library. Depending on the case, material may be delivered through the University of Limassol Library or made available for on-site consultation at the holding library.
Users are required to comply with the terms of the Interlibrary Loan service and return all borrowed material within the specified deadlines.
