TIB Document Delivery

The Technische Informationsbibliothek (TIB) provides registered private individuals, national and international research communities, and industry with scientific and technical information from around the world. Through the fee-based TIB document delivery service, users can order copies of articles from the TIB collection, request an order without search service, or obtain loanable literature.

What can I Order via TIB-Dokumentlieferung?

The TIB document delivery of the Technische Informationsbibliothek (TIB) – Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology and University Library is available to anyone who requires literature for study, research, or teaching, regardless of their place of residence. Since 1959, TIB has served as the German National Library of Science and Technology as well as Architecture, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, and Physics, offering a central point of access to international scientific and technical research information.

TIB’s fee-based delivery service includes the international supply of copies from printed publications and books of the TIB collection. In addition, an order without search service and, in some cases, free online access to electronic full texts is available.
