FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about Interlibrary Loan:
We accept orders for professional, study, and teaching materials that suppliers lend to home users, as well as for articles and parts of publications for which we can order copies or electronic copies. In doing so, we take into account and respect copyright legislation.
The interlibrary loan service operates in libraries from Monday to Friday. We forward your orders to suppliers the same working day if we receive them by 2 pm. We select suppliers with whom we work best and who respond quickly. Normal delivery from Slovenia takes 3 - 4 working days.
You can cancel your order if the supplier has not yet shipped the materials to us and the costs have not yet been incurred. To submit a cancellation request, use My Library.
The Celje Central Library will notify you of the arrival of the ordered material in the manner you specified in the order (by phone or to your email address). To save time, we do not use traditional mail for these notifications.
Exceptionally and by special prior agreement between inter-library services, it is possible to collect materials in person and free of charge from some suppliers in the Celje region.
The loan periods are determined by the suppliers (see the COBISS/OPAC catalogue). Since the material arrives by post and is returned by post, its availability is somewhat shorter. Our library shortens the supplier's period by two working days. The return period, which you must observe, is written on the delivery note that you receive with the material. You do not need to return the copies.
Interlibrary loan and borrowing from our library are two separate services, so you must separately extend the loan period for materials from the Celje Central Library and separately for materials you received from other libraries.
Slovenian libraries usually extend the loan period for interlibrary loans if the material is not reserved or highly sought after. The number of possible extensions varies. Apply for an interlibrary extension in good time, but not too early. We recommend a day or two before the return deadline. Apply for an extension via My Library – Open Orders or at ill@knjiznica-celje.si The new return deadline will be visible in the next few days in My Library and you will not be notified about it separately. Please check it yourself and return the material if the extension was not successful.
No, the library does not order materials that are intended for reading room use or otherwise have limited availability. If you exceptionally arrange to borrow them yourself, we will only lend the materials to our reading room.
