Internal interlibrary loan service for Medicine

What is the internal interlibrary loan service (ILV)?

A network of 17 medical libraries in Germany that send journal articles to each other free of charge.

For copyright reasons the literature is not sent electronically to the person who orders it but as a print copy or fax. Delivery takes between one to two weeks. This service is generally faster than the GBV Interlibrary Loan service.

Please use the ILV service only if the journal you require is not available in Oldenburg.

Who is entitled to use the ILV service?

Professors at Faculty VI of Oldenburg University.
