Interlibrary loans

Please note that it is not possible to place any requests for interlibrary loans at the moment. However, it is possible to create accounts in Libris. This is a temporary interruption.

For questions, please contact: fjarrlan.bibliotek@gotland.se

Biblioteken på Gotland may borrow media from other library organizations outside of Gotland. This is called an interlibrary loan. The lending library decides whether they will lend the material out and how long the loan period will be. Media which is available at one of our local libraries cannot be requested as an interlibrary loan. We follow the interlibrary loan recommendations from Kungliga biblioteket (National Library of Sweden).

How do I request an interlibrary loan?

You need to be 18 years old and have a library card at Biblioteken på Gotland to be able to request an interlibrary loan. Then you can create a user account in Libris. When you are logged into your Libris account and have found what you wish to request you can press the button "Request". You will receive a response via Libris about how your request is handled. Ask the library staff if you need help with your request! 

How do I pick up my interlibrary loan?

Interlibrary loans are picked up and borrowed at the information desk on the library you have chosen as your pickup location. You will receive a notification when your requested loan is ready for pickup. After that you have 2 weeks to come and get it.
