Interlibrary services

Interlibrary service for JAMK students

Do you need material from our collections, but you live on the other side of the country? Contact your local library. They will make an interlibrary loan request to us and we will send the material to them.

Your local library will borrow the material for you and you will return it to them by the due date. Your local library can also renew the material if needed, if there are no holds on the material. You will return the material to your local library by the due date and they will send it back to us.

Remember to mention that you are a JAMK student. Interlibrary loans for JAMK students are 5 euros per item.

You can also request an interlibrary loan via JAMK’s interlibrary service if you cannot find a book or other publication you want from JAMK Library or other libraries in the area, such as Jyväskylä University Library or Keski Libraries.

There is usually a fee on interlibrary loans from other libraries. The library that sends the interlibrary loan will determine the fee, the loan periods and other terms. As a customer you will commit to these terms and expenses caused by neglect.

You will get an e-mail notice when your interlibrary loan can be picked up from the library.
