Interlibrary loan for UAB members
The Interlibrary Loan service allows UAB members (PDI, students, staff, UAB Sphere, Amics de la UAB and Universitat a l'abast) to borrow physical material from other libraries and universities, as well as obtain copies of articles or chapters from titles that are not held by UAB libraries or are not provided through the PUC.
