Questions and Answers

If you only need a chapter from a book and the book is not in the collection of the library, you can request a copy in sEURch from another library (ILL, Interlibrary Loan). This is free of charge for EUR staff. EUR students or other borrowers pay € 6.50 per chapter. You pay the costs via pin or credit card at the information desk of the University Library, the Services desk at ISS Library or via IDEAL.

Requested copies are delivered as a PDF. You will receive an e-mail with a link and password. The link is also available in your library account under Requests. The PDF is available for 30 days and can be opened up to 5 times. After this, the PDF is automatically deleted. Advice: download the PDF to your own PC.
