The Library uses inter-library loans in order to be able to provide its users with access to other centres’ publications that are not held by the Library itself. The Library may at the same time lend its collection to other libraries.
This excludes the lending of works of reference, periodical publications, and old or rare books, or those whose conservation condition may be affected by handling.
DOCUMENT REPRODUCTION
It is possible to obtain reproductions of books, pamphlets and periodical publications. Copies are subject to the prevailing legislation regarding intellectual property.
Users should request permission from Library staff to obtain photocopies, PDF files or to take their own photographs. A form is available to request reproductions.
