Who can use the university library’s services?
Everyone can consult the online catalog to find out about the university library’s holdings.
Students, professors, administrative staff, and collaborators in teaching and research activities at the University of Aosta Valley and other partner universities can register with the library and use all of its services, by presenting their university card or an identity document.
External researchers can consult library documents on site by filling out a request for access to consultation.
Inter-library loan and document delivery for other libraries
The university library guarantees inter-library loan and document delivery services. This service operates on a basis of reciprocal free exchange. If the requesting library does not offer this exchange arrangement, reimbursement of costs is required at the following rates:
– ½ IFLA coupon for individual document delivery;
– 1 IFLA coupon for monograph loans.
Other payment methods, such as payment via PagoPA slip, postal account, or bank account, must be agreed upon in advance with the University Library.
Requests can be made directly online, using the forms specifically provided for this purpose, available at the bottom of the page, or sent by email to biblioteca@univda.it.
Each request can cover a maximum of 3 books for inter-library loan and 5 periodicals or other documents for the document delivery service; each library may in no case exceed the maximum limit of 10 documents requested per month.
Excluded from inter-library loan are reference works, including dictionaries, particularly valuable works, works published more than 60 years ago, theses, periodicals, and documents classified as “EXAMS.”
Loans are granted for a period of 30 days, renewable for an additional 15 days upon explicit request submitted before the due date and provided there are no reservations for the document. The library reserves the right to establish any restrictions on home loans due to the particular nature of the requested documents. The receiving library is responsible for the correct use and timely return of the documents.
The library is present on ACNP (Italian periodicals catalog), NILDE (platform for secure document exchange), and ILL-SBN (platform for transmitting document requests). Monographs can be searched via the online catalog.
