Media that are listed in the collection of the RPTU University Library may not officially be ordered via interlibrary loan.
You can - after registering in Katalog+ - reserve individual media for loan to the respective other location, provided they are available for loan. This also applies to individual journal volumes from the Landau location.
If you are interested in media that cannot be borrowed from the other location, please contact your local library - we will check possible options with you.
