What does interlibrary loan mean?
Interlibrary loan is a service model based on interlibrary resource sharing. For the literature not available in our library, readers can borrow it from other libraries according to the interlibrary loan system, agreement, method and charging standard when they need it.

On the other hand, when foreign libraries make interlibrary loan requests to our library, they lend the documents owned by our library to meet the literature needs of foreign libraries. Applicable to returned documents and copying unreturned documents. Of course, documents that are copied and not returned can also be obtained through document delivery.

There are several forms of interlibrary loan: using CALIS document delivery software; Copy+mail; Scan e-mail; Express mail, fax or self-collection by readers, etc. Users register with the library information service department, provide the required bibliographic information, and provide communication and contact information. After receiving the documents, our library will promptly inform users to come and collect them.
