- Patrons submitting requests for international loans (from libraries outside Poland) pay a flat-rate charge, which covers in part the postal costs incurred by the Library.

Libraries become entitled to loan items from the Jagiellonian Library resources after completing and signing the proper declaration (available on the Jagiellonian Library website). The declaration should be renewed on the annual basis.
Requests should be submitted through ILL request forms or via mail (one e-mail is equivalent to one ILL request form).
Domestic interlibrary loans (to libraries within Poland) are free of charge.
As part of its ILL services, the Jagiellonian Library also supplies items from its collections to large academic libraries outside Poland that cooperate within the international ILL system.
The requesting library is fully responsible for the items obtained via ILL, which are to be used only in its reading rooms. Libraries from abroad submit ILL requests through IFLA request forms or by e-mail.
