dokumenTUM

With dokumenTUM, TUM members can request scans of the following types of literature, provided they are available in printed form at the TUM University Library:

• Academic papers
• Journal articles
• Up to 10% of a book, e.g., individual chapters

Use our online Catalog OPAC to place your dokumenTUM order. Simply start the OPAC and log in with your TUM ID.

Go to OPAC

Five steps to your scan in the OPAC:

1. Click on the desired title to open the availability display. If dokumenTUM is available for this item, you will find a button "Order paper/chapter scan".
2. With a single click, you will be redirected to the SFX service page, which lists various ordering options. In the right upper corner, you can switch languages.
3. First, check the box “I am entitled to the dokumenTUM delivery service.” beneath the option “Order via Interlibrary Loan or dokumenTUM (Paper/Chapter Scans)”, then click the option.
4. In the next step, select your home library.
5. If necessary, complete the order form with any missing information (e.g., paper title, chapter title, author, page numbers) and submit your order.
