We offer an extensive collection of scientific literature on numerous subjects. Are you missing something you need for your research? Is your desired title constantly on loan? If you have any suggestions for items that would complement our stock, please share them here.

No, the SLUB will bear all costs for the acquisition of the recommended title - you will not be charged anything.

Generally, we will acquire the recommended titles for your academic work. We check that the purchase tip fits into our collections and to see if there might be an alternative title already in stock. This process guarantees that we use our budget as efficiently as possible.

As a rule, the medium will be available within 14 days. For international and antiquarian titles, it may take a little longer. We recommend to make a reservation in the purchase tip form to ensure that you will be the first borrower.

To do this, please check the box "Please reserve item for me" when submitting the PurchaseTip. By doing this, you ensure that you will be the first user to borrow/use the book as soon as it is available.
If you have requested for the item to be put on hold for you, you will be notified by mail. If you need the title at a later date, you can check its availability in the SLUB catalogue.

Please contact the person who has informed you about the rejection.

Initially there is no limit. Should we notice that there are numerous acquisitions recommended by one single user during a short period, we reserve the right to reject these purchase tips.

All purchase tips are paid out of the regular acquisition budget of the library. We do have to use the budget carefully and therefore ask you to check if there might be alternative titles in our stock which could fulfill your needs. Please use the purchase tip for urgent requests.
