New interlibrary loan fees

Loans and article copies from the National Repository Library will be subject to a fee also for JYU students and staff. The fees for interlibrary loans from other libraries will increase slightly. In future, the fees for loans and article copies ordered from both the National Repository Library and other domestic libraries will be the same.

The new price list for interlibrary loan fees will come into effect on 17 June 2026:

  • JYU students and staff
    • From Finland: 12 € /item, 8 € /article
    • From other countries: 22 € /item, 10 € /article
  • Other customers
    • From Finland: 15 € /item, 10 €/article
    • From other countries: 22 € /item, 12 € /article
  • Interlibrary loans to other libraries
    • 12 € /item, 8 € /article

The National Repository Library’s interlibrary loan fees are based on a policy of the Ministry of Education and Culture, and the Ministry's Decree on the fees for services produced by the National Archives of Finland (1299/2025). The fees have also been adjusted in accordance with the recommendations from FUN, Finnish University Libraries’ Network.

You can no longer place orders to the National Repository Library through the JYKDOK database. Interlibrary loans can be requested using the electronic form (login with JYU user account) or by emailing kaukopal@library.jyu.fi.

Billing practices for JYU staff and master’s thesis writers

Open Science Centre will charge departments for interlibrary loans made by staff and master’s thesis writers, provided the department has agreed to this. Orders of the master’s thesis writers that have been agreed upon with the department are placed by the advisor, and these orders are gathered and billed together with staff orders.
