Through the Document Delivery service users can get journal articles or book chapters not owned by the University libraries. Libraries use the Nilde network to exchange documents.
(Network Inter-Library Document Exchange) NILDE is an online software for the handling of the demand for and supply of material among a group of libraries, in a spirit of reciprocal collaboration and, prevalently, in a free manner.
WHO MAY USE THE DOCUMENT DELIVERY SERVICE
- Pavia University users
