3. check that the documents to be requested are not already held by one of the libraries of the University of Perugia, by consulting the appropriate Unipg libraries catalog
4. if the document is held by one of these libraries, the user, with the appropriate Library card, must make a direct request by going personally to the library that holds it. Otherwise, the user must fill in the appropriate online form

For students and PhD candidates without a scholarship, the service is free of charge.

For all other user categories, reimbursement of shipping costs and any fees required by the supplying libraries is requested (the user will be informed of these costs in advance).
