If you need a book that the University Library of Salzburg does not have in its collection, you can order it via interlibrary loan from other academic libraries in Austria and abroad. It is also possible to order copies of essays or articles via interlibrary loan.
Costs
Interlibrary loans are subject to a fee. The costs charged depend on where the order is placed and what is ordered (book/copies).

Borrowing and returning interlibrary loans
Interlibrary loans can be borrowed and returned at the lending desk of the main library (Hofstallgasse 2-4, 5020 Salzburg).
