Interlibrary loan

Interlibrary loans (ILL) enable you to obtain documents from French or foreign libraries that are not available on site.

This service enables you to obtain documents (books, theses, journal articles...) that are not available in Centrale Lyon's libraries.

The ILL is free of charge and reserved for readers registered in the library on the Écully campus and the Saint-Étienne campus.

The average loan period can range from one week for documents coming from France to several weeks for those coming from abroad. 
The loan period depends on the lending library: if you would like to request a loan extension, please contact us.
