Universal Borrowing

National Repository Library is a repository where all libraries in Finland can send books and journals they do not need. Repository Library is closed repository, so all request must be done via other libraries.

If you are customer of Savonia UAS library, you can make a Universal Borrowing (UB) request to the National Repository Library yourself via Savonia-Finna. If the book is charged, please contact the library customer service. Loans and article copies are free of charge for the Savonia UAS staff and students. Other customers please check the Price list.
