Visit the library, and the librarian will provide detailed information on:
– Whether the book you are interested in is available;
– Whether you are eligible to borrow the book;
– The duration for which you can borrow the book;
– If the book is not available in the library collection, it may be obtained through the Interlibrary Loan Service.
You can use the electronic reservation and request service.

If you do not have the exact information about the author or title, you can use the electronic catalog to search for the necessary literature.
If the requested material is not available in our library, you can use the Interlibrary Loan Service. This means that books are brought from partner libraries and made available in our library for on-site use for one week.
Please note that rare items or single-copy materials are not eligible for this service.
In all other cases, the requested literature will be available.
To use the Interlibrary Loan Service, please send your request to: library@ibsu.edu.ge and mention “Interlibrary Loan Service” in the subject line.
