Document Delivery for Institutional Users

This service is free and is available to registered users, academic staff, researchers, and University personnel. 

Need an article, essay, or book section?

The document delivery service allows users to obtain articles, essays, or book sections (such as chapters, indexes, and bibliographies) that are not available in the University of Milan libraries from other Italian and international libraries.
If you need an interlibrary book loan instead, please visit the “Interlibrary Loan for Institutional Users” page. 

How can I request copies of articles or book sections?

If you cannot find an article or book section in our catalogue, you can request it directly through Minerva under the ILL/DD REQUEST tab (Interlibrary Services Request) after logging in with your University credentials. Requests can also be made by email, in person at your reference library, or at the library covering the relevant subject area (see the contact list below).

In the scientific and medical libraries, the NILDE user service is available. To access it, users must register via Idem Garr login using their institutional credentials. 

How does the service work?

Libraries process up to five requests per week per user within three working days.
Delivery times and methods depend on the lending library’s regulations. Once the requested document arrives at the library, you will receive an email notification at your University email address. Please note: Copies of requested documents cannot be sent via email and must be collected in person at the library, regardless of the original format.
If documents are not collected within one month of the notification, interlibrary service privileges will be blocked until the materials are retrieved.

This service complies with copyright regulations and specific licensing agreements for certain resources, as well as the conditions set by the lending library. 

Need an article, essay, or book section from another University of Milan library?

Choose the most convenient library for collection 

The University libraries offer an internal document delivery service, allowing users to request copies of journal articles and book chapters from other University of Milan libraries. However, this service is not available for libraries located within the same site (i.e. Via Festa del Perdono).
