New: Direct delivery of interlibrary loan articles

Starting January 1, 2025, copies of articles ordered via interlibrary loan will be delivered to you electronically free of charge; you will no longer need to pick them up at the central locations in Eichstätt or Ingolstadt.

You will receive a notification e-mail with a download link that allows you to download the PDF document. Each download link will be valid for 40 days.

This new delivery procedure is subject to an agreement with VG-Wort 2024, which allows libraries to send scanned documents directly to users via e-mail, bypassing the printout process. A fee per article is required for this service, which is financed by study grant funds and applied to copies for academic, not commercial, purposes.

Please note:

  • An e-mail address must be provided in your library account
  • The agreement does not apply to international loans
  • For licensing reasons, paper copies may still be delivered in individual cases; copies are available for you at the information desk
     

If you have any questions, please contact the University Library at bibliothek(at)ku.de.
