Purchase Request

You will receive feedback from us as to whether the request can be fulfilled.

Please note: The University of Stuttgart is facing massive increases in energy costs and further price increases this year. Since we currently do not know when and to what extent the increased costs will be compensated with additional state funds, services of various kinds can no longer be maintained to their full extent. Unfortunately, this also affects the acquisition of literature.

At the moment, we are only able to make purchases for teaching purposes.

We understand that this means restrictions for the users of the University Library, but we ask for your understanding.

However, in many cases you can order and borrow the required books from another library via interlibrary loan. All information on interlibrary loan can be found here

Would you like to use the item directly after we have received and processed it? As the“initiator” of the purchase we will put it on hold for you first. As soon as the item is available for collection, we will notify you (either via email, if an email address is entered in your library account, or via letter for which the postage will be charged to your account)
