On the basis of the Regulations on Interlibrary Loan in the Federal Republic of Germany (Leihverkehrsordnung - LVO) (circular of the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing, Culture and Sport of 08 March 2004), an interlibrary loan in the national interlibrary loan system is subject to a charge.

In accordance with the decree of the MIWFT of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia of 8 June 2005, an order fee of 1.50 euros is charged for each order, which is automatically entered into the library account after the order has been successfully placed. For employees of the University who wish to be invoiced within the University, it is alternatively possible to invoice via transaction numbers (TANs). The TANs are sent by e-mail to rechnungsstelle@ub.uni-paderborn.de on presentation of a form or issued at the counter of the Local Lending Desk - with a minimum purchase of 10.

The order fee is charged for every order, even if the delivery takes a long time or if no library from outside the library can carry out the order.

In cases of particularly high expenditure (e.g. copies of very extensive articles, colour copies) additional costs may be charged. In these cases, the interlibrary loan order will only be forwarded after you have given your consent for the costs to be covered. If the loan period is exceeded, the above-mentioned late fees will be charged in accordance with the Paderborn University Library's fee regulations.

If your order cannot be processed through national interlibrary loan because the desired title is not available in any German library, you have the option of using international interlibrary loan. The costs and delivery times for international interlibrary loans vary greatly. They depend on the respective lending library. The minimum charge for a delivery is 8.00 euros.
