Literature that is neither available in the University Library
or in other Düsseldorf libraries,
can be ordered via interlibrary loan from other libraries.
The most important information in brief:
- A valid HSD card or a valid library card is required for interlibrary loan.
- Orders are subject to a fee: 1.50 euros per book or article.
This fee is a processing fee and not a “success fee”, i.e. it is due in any case after the order has been placed.
- The delivery of journal articles takes approx. 2-5 working days and is carried out by e-mail (collection from the University Library in special cases only).
- The delivery of books takes approx. 10-15 working days and will be collected from the University Library.
Tip: If you require faster delivery, you may be able to use
document delivery services (currently only in german) for a fee.
Your order
You can place an interlibrary loan request after logging in to your Bib account (Instructions: Logging in to your Bib account - currently only in german, pdf file, 350 KB).
After logging in, you can search for a book or journal title or enter the information you already have on the desired book, journal article or book chapter.
If you have incomplete information, abbreviations or other inaccurate references, we will be happy to assist you with your interlibrary loan request!
