Intramural (Internal) Loan

In addition to the stock of the main campus library, the PRIMO search portal also lists the stocks of the site libraries in Birkenfeld and Idar-Oberstein.

You will find the respective location information in the results display.

Media can only be ordered by intramural (internal) loan from the Environmental Campus or Idar-Oberstein, if they:

• do not belong to the non-lending stock or to the special collection of the libraries there,
• are not included in the stock of the Main Campus Library.

To request a book or an article copy via the intramural (internal) loan service, please send an e-mail with the desired title and the respective call number (shelf number, shelfmark) to bibliothek[at]hochschule-trier.de.

To give a reliable delivery time is not possible. Experience shows that your order arrives at the Umwelt-Campus within seven days.

As soon as your order has arrived at the library of the Main Campus, you will be notified by the inter-library loaning team via e-mail. You can then pick up the medium at the service desk of the library.

As a rule, you can use books borrowed via intramural (internal) loan for six weeks. To extend the loan period, send us an e-mail one to three days before the loan period expires with the request for extension.

Copies of articles become your property.

Books borrowed via internal loan can be returned at the service desk of the Main Campus Library. Important: Under no circumstances should you return the books to another location, as your library account will continue to be debited and fees may be incurred.

Article copies do not have to be returned, they remain in your possession.

Overdue fees are charged for all books that you have borrowed via intramural (internal) loan and returned or extended too late (Fee regulations from 2015-08-01):

• per medium and per day: 2,00 EUR
