Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Login and Search
Log in to OPAC using your TUM ID or library number and search for the literature you need.
Step 2: Order Button
Click on the desired title to open the availability display. If interlibrary loan is available, you will find the button "Order via interlibrary loan".
Step 3: Home Library
Enter the TUM location where you would like to pick up your order in the "Home Library" field. If the desired literature is available at another local library (e.g., the Bavarian State Library), you will receive a corresponding notification. In this case, you must visit that library yourself or order the literature through their local OPAC.
Step 4: Order Details
In the final step, complete any missing order details (e.g., publication year, journal volume number) and submit your order.
Didn’t find anything or not the right item?
Even if you cannot find the desired literature, you can still place an interlibrary loan request via OPAC. Click on "Tools" in the top menu bar and select the option "Open Interlibrary Loan." After choosing your home library, you can place your order using the respective button. Our interlibrary loan team will search for the material outside Bavaria and forward your request.
