Available in another library in The Netherlands

If a publication is not available at the Radboud University, and it says At Libraries in the Netherlands, you can request the publication through the interlibrary loan (ILL) system, using the red button Request item other libraries. You can look for publications in other libraries in the Netherlands using the Library Location filter. There might be a charge for requesting a book through ILL. More information on this webpage or in this guide.
