The NTUA Central Library, in order to cover the research needs of its academic community, provides to the NTUA community members the opportunity of using the Inter-Library Loan Service.
The ability of using the Inter-Library Loan Service is given to all members of the NTUA community (faculty members, technical staff, scientific assistants, administrative staff, undergraduate, postgraduate students and PhD candidates), provided they are registered members of the Library.
Through this service, the users have access to bibliographic materials that are not included in the Central Library’s Collections or other NTUA Departments, while at the same time the Central Library may provide its own material to other cooperating libraries.
The user (member) of the Inter-Library Loan Service can request copies of journal articles, standards and monograph excerpts. Similarly, they may borrow monographs, theses, dissertations. For further information you may visit the Inter-Library loan Regulation page.
The Inter-Library Loan service is centrally operated through the Hellenic Academic Libraries Link (HealLink) and in a co-operation with the National Documentation Centre (EKT) and the British Library (BL).
