How long will it take?
It is difficult to say anything generally about the delivery time. It can take anything from a few days to 2 weeks. Books from international libraries take longer. Copies of articles are often delivered faster than books.
Loans and picking up material
You will receive a message when your interlibrary loan has arrived. The interlibrary material remains on the reservation shelf for 2 weeks. Interlibrary loans are collected and borrowed at the information desk, at the library you have chosen as the collection point. The owning library determines the loan period. Copies to employees at Uppsala University Campus Gotland are sent by internal mail.
