Changes to the interlibrary loan practices of the National Repository Library

Interlibrary loans ordered from the National Repository Library are automatically renewed ten times, if there are no requests for the books. Once these renewals have been used up, the loans cannot be renewed anymore, and the books must be returned to the service point of the Lähde Library.

If you still need the books and there are no reservations for them, the books can be borrowed again through our interlibrary loan service. However, a fee of €8 per book is charged in accordance with the National Repository Library's price list.

This spring, the National Repository Library began charging libraries interlibrary loan fees for both books and article copies. We will update our interlibrary loan price list during the spring. We will notify you well in advance of any updates coming into effect.
