For requests for materials, please contact the Direct Loan Office.
To collect requested materials, please contact the librarian in the Reading Room.
The Interlibrary Loan service enables the Library’s users to obtain monographs and reproductions of documents not held by the Library. It also supplies other libraries—both in Italy and abroad—with monographs, periodicals, and reproductions of materials held by the Library.
The service is available both to users who visit the Library in person to request materials not available on site and to remote users, including public and private libraries in Italy and abroad.
Shipping and reproduction costs are borne by the user. Registration requirements are the same as for direct loan; users registered for direct loan are also eligible for interlibrary loan.
