Interlibrary Loans

• If you are requesting a book that cannot be found at any of the libraries at Lund University, printed och digitally, you can make an interlibrary loan. Due to publishers rights we can unfortunately not make interlibrary loans of e-books, but we always try to find a print version.
• Only interlibrary loans of material that is intended for study or research purposes at our faculties can be made through the Libraries of the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology. This means that if you are a student the loan has to be connected with the course you are currently registered on at the HT Faculties. If you want to request interlibrary loans of material for other purposes we advise you to contact your closest public library.
• Journals can not be borrowed, but article copies can be ordered at a charge.

• Book loans from within the Nordic countries - free of charge
• Book loans from outside the Nordic countries - 150 SEK/book
• Photocopies of articles - 80 SEK/copy regardless of the source
• Photocopies of more extensive works such as theses are usually more expensive. In such cases, ask for details of fees. Payment is made at the information desk.
• Costs for interlibrary loans made by HT researchers and teachers are paid by the HT faculties.

N.B.: Costs may be added if applied by the lending library.

The Swedish Media Database, SMDB, is a search service for the audiovisual collections at the National Library of Sweden (KB). The database contains information about programmes that have aired on TV or radio, about videos, movies presented in theaters, CDs, and multimedia. The SMDB covers most Swedish broadcasts and publications since 1979, but contains older material as well.

Audiovisual recordings needed for research projects, may be requested directly from the SMDB. The research project must first be approved by the National Library of Sweden.
