How does it work?

 

 If the book you are looking for is not held in your library of reference or is currently on loan, but is available in one of the network libraries, you can request a local interloan and the book will be delivered to your most convenient library.  

 

 Books must be requested in person at the library to which they will be delivered.  

 

 The books requested on Monday will be available from Friday; for the libraries of the University of Bologna which are far from the city center or placed in the Campuses of Cesena, Forlì, Ravenna and Rimini, the book will be available from the following Tuesday. 

 

 If the request is submitted after Monday, the expected delivery times will be extended by one week. 

 

 The local interloan service is available only for books. Libraries may reserve the right to exclude certain types of materials, such as textbooks, from the service. 

 

Each reader can request a maximum of three texts. 

 

To guarantee the efficiency of the service, each library may decide to turn the local interloan request down if the library that holds the book is too close. As book providers, instead, they must comply with requests received from all libraries regardless of their distance. Extensions, based on the rules of the lending library, can be granted only once for fifteen days, if the document is not reserved.
