Regulations

1. Interlibrary Loans are understood as lending- and copying services between libraries.
2. The purpose of the Interlibrary Loans cooperation is to provide all libraries, on behalf of their users, with material they do not posess themselves.
3. Interlibrary Loans can be shipped to all libraries, institutions and enterprises.
4. Reservations can be made by e-mail, on-line, fax, telephone or by using standardised forms.
5. The borrowing library should verify each request and post it to the library which seems to own it.
