     Interlibrary loan (ill)

If a book or periodical is not available from the collection of the K.U.Leuven, one can request it via the inter-lending service. However, the user should first try to find out in which library the publication he is looking for is available.
 Requests and treatment
1. First search in the LIBISng catalogue in which (non K.U.Leuven) library the document is located = request based on an item result:
click on the library you want to go to (right)
this results in the document information for that library
on the top left you can click on ILL-request
a screen opens where you can register and place the ILL-request
You have to register before you can place the ILL-request
2. If not found in the LIBISng catalogue, search in other library catalogues [pdf, Dutch]:
in the LIBISng catalogue you click on the "sign in" button in the black bar on the top
on the screen with your reader information you can click on "Vrije IBL-aanvraag"
enter the data of the publication you are looking for
For more information, contact the ILL-central of your library. 
External users cannot use the interlibrary loan facilities.

Remarks:
ILL is not for free. In every library directions and tariffs are made available. These can differ per ILL-center.
Students cannot use the ILL for requests between the IBL-services of K.U.Leuven. This is only possible for K.U.Leuven personnel.
In Leuven publications can be requested from the Kortrijk Campus Library (KULAK), and vice versa.
When requesting periodical articles keep in mind that:

- periodicals are rarely lent (usually only copies of articles)
- one has to fill out a separate form for each article
- abbreviating periodical titles has to be avoided.
When requesting books keep in mind that:

- not all publications can be borrowed (for instance: reading room documents, periodical publications, loose-leafed documents, precious and fragile works, newspapers, atlasses, ...)
- the lending library determines the loan period, and can restrict the consultation to the requesting library's reading room only
- costs can be charged and possible sanctions taken when the loan period is not respected.
