Definition of inter-library loans
If you need a book that is not available at one of the libraries in Regensburg (e.g. which you cannot find in the Library Catalogue), we will order it from another German Library or even from abroad (special conditions apply).
Inter-library loans are based on the rules for inter-library loans (pdf, 10 pages), whereas some of the paragraphs regarding costs have not yet been applied in Bavarian Libraries.
Loan periods and conditions of use (e.g. For use only in a reading-room) are determined by the lending library and therefore cannot be altered by us.
Costs of an inter-library loan
Book orders within Germany are usually free. If the original document is not for loan, a copy of it may be delivered. If charges (for copying) don't exceed 10 Euro, we deliver without any further enquiry. For photocopies the following costs apply:
- Up to 40 pages: standard charge of 1,50 €
- From the 41st page: 6 €
- For every 20 pages thereafter: an additional charge of 2 Euros.
- For special collections there may be varying charges.
If we have to order a book from abroad, special conditions apply. There can be high costs regarding insurance and postal delivery fees (depending on the delivering library).
For more information please ask the Inter-library loans team.
