International Library Loan
Non-European Countries
The library accepts orders
- on IFLA loan forms
Please note: this is the only form that will be sent to other German libraries if the Staatsbibliothek is not able to fulfill the request - by fax (please dial the following number for your order:
+49 30 266 333501) - by e-mail: International Loan
The bibliographical and other necessary details should be structured according to the IFLA guidelines for sending ILL requests by e-mail and the IFLA Fax Guidelines respectively. We would prefer to get your requests rather by e-mail than by fax.
Please note that we need a single IFLA loan form or a single e-mail or fax for every order of one monograph or the copy of one article either.
We charge for the delivery of up to 20 copies by air mail (standard):

- 12 € by invoice
By supply of more than 20 copies the following charges are applicable:
