With the Inter Library Loan you can borrow documents belonging to Italian and international libraries. All requests will be answered within 3 working days.

Requests to other libraries (incoming loan)

You will be informed in advance of the arrival of the requested documents, which will remain available for 5 working days, after which the book will be returned to the lending library.

The requesting library will be responsible for the document and, in case of loss or damage, will be required to repurchase it.

Both types of requests can be submitted:
