Documents not available in the Library’s own collection (books, copies, or electronic copies) can be requested from other Hungarian or foreign libraries through the interlibrary loan service.
In addition, all Hungarian libraries may borrow documents from our Library through the National Document Supply System (ODR).
The service is available to faculty members, students of the Faculty, and registered Library users.
Requests are accepted only in writing: by post, e-mail: konkozi@aok.pte.hu , or via the online request WEB form.
The conditions for using supplied documents are determined by the lending library.
