Do you have some kind of Inter Library Loan (ILL) system similar to the one in universities in Finland?
For e.g. http://www.utu.fi/kirjasto/lomakkeet/illform.html
Answer
Yes, we do have an inter library loan system - but, unfortunately, the inter library loan request form to be found in the web has not yet been translated into English: it is only available in Finnish and Swedish. If you understand Finnish, you can find a suitable form at http://www.lib.hel.fi/ under the headings Kaukopalvelu - Kaukopalvelu henkilöasiakkaille. There you can also check the charges. Just to summarize the principles:
- an inter library loan costs 0,80 e
- if you live in Helsinki, there are no other charges if the loan is sent from Finland or other Nordic countries
- if you are not an inhabitant of Helsinki, the charges depend on the sending library (from Nordic countries 8,50 e)
- an inter library loan from outside Nordic countries costs 22,00 e
The direct URL of the inter library loan request is http://www.lib.hel.fi/kaukopal/pyynto.htm
Yet it is also possible (and probably easier for you) to send the request simply by e-mail. The adress is ill@hel.fi. Please don't forget to give not only your e-mail adress but also your mail adress and telephone number.
