• This is a paid service. The cost is partially covered by the financial aid system for the InterLibrary Loan service.
• Cancellation may not be accepted depending on the progress of the transaction. Please review your request carefully before submitting.
• You cannot place a request using the KOSMOS terminals in the library.
• On this web page we show you the instructions on KOSMOS. For details on the service, please refer to the web page ‘Document Delivery and Interlibrary Loan.’

Procedures

Start with signing into KOSMOS. On the detail screen of the library item, you will find a button ‘ILL Request (Photocopy).’ Click the button to proceed.

In case the button is not displayed for some reasons, scroll down the screen. Click ‘ILL Request (Photocopy)’ in the Links section instead.

The online form will open and requires you to complete it. Read notices before getting started and fill out all mandatory fields. The details of the request may be filled in automatically by the system, but we kindly ask you to review your request carefully and correct it if necessary. Please make sure to confirm the details then submit your request.

As we accept your request, or the copy becomes ready, we will send you a message at your email address filled in the request form.
