Charges
Charges for Inter-Library Loans
Unlike many other institutions, Inter-Library Loans (ILL) is a free service at the University of Galway Library. An ILL request can cost the Library up to €20 to fulfil.
Due to the relatively high incidence of patrons failing to collect ILL requests for books and journals, there is a fines system for non-collections.
A fine of €20 for a book and €10 for a journal reprint will be applied against your account if you fail to collect a request within 2 weeks of the email notification issuing.
We would therefore request that patrons only proceed with ILL requests if they are able to collect them.
Library
The Library proactively supports and enhances the learning, teaching, and research activities of the University. The Library acts as a catalyst for your success as University of Galway’s hub for scholarly information discovery, sharing, and publication.
