The current rates for the UAB Library Service's interlibrary loan service were approved by the Economic Commission of the Social Council on 17th February 2023.
Any type of material and format from the UAB library catalogue is included: books, journal articles, conference proceedings, theses, audiovisual materials, microfilms, and microfiches.
To place a request, you will need to complete an inter-library loan (ILL) request form, providing your ID number (NIU) and password. If you are using the ILL service for the first time, you must register in advance and wait to receive a confirmation message within 24 working days (excluding Christmas and Easter).
It is recommended to provide as much bibliographic information as possible.
Once your request has been submitted, the system will allow you to check the status of your requests, download requested materials, or contact the service.
You can also request documents via email: pi@uab.cat
Digital documents will be sent in electronic format. The original documents will be sent by courier to the CBUC member institutions and by certified postal mail to the rest of the institutions.
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a service provided between libraries. All document requests must be processed through the ILL service of your own library, whether public, university, or private. If you wish to borrow or request a copy of an item, you can do so through your library's ILL service.
Books are loaned for a period of 5 weeks, and renewals are permitted.
In the event of loss or damage to the borrowed material, you will be required to purchase an identical copy or one with similar characteristics.
