Information for other libraries

The University Library at UiT – The Arctic University of Norway offers inter-library loan services to libraries in and outside of Norway.

Inter-library loans must be requested via the library user’s own library system, public libraries should primarily order via Biblioteksøk, or the library can log in to Oria and place an order. Note thatrequests in Oria are registered directly on the library's own user account, not the end user's. See news from Bibliotekutvikling.(Only available in Norwegian)

The University Library does not process inter-library loan requests for the following materials:

• older materials
• folio format
• literature that is open and digitally accessible
• teaching materials and upper secondary school materials
• norwegian fiction literature
• new publications released in the past 2 years

Please also note that certain types of material may be subject to “no inter-library loan” conditions for other reasons.

Inter-library loans have an initial loan period of 3 weeks. The loan can be renewed after this period via the library user’s own library system, or by contacting us at post@ub.uit.no.

The maximum loan period is 365 days, which means that the loan can be renewed up to 17 times, provided there is no waiting list for the material.

The University Library will prioritise its own library users if necessary.
