It is possible for users to order copies of journal articles from other Greek Libraries.
The Library belongs to the National Network of Scientific and Technological Libraries (EDETV), which is a network of Libraries that supports interlibrary loan of articles from journals of their collections. The operation of the EDETV is based on the Interlibrary Loan System that has been developed by the National Documentation Centre and the use of the online database of the National Collective Catalogue of Scientific Journals (ESKEP) of Greek scientific and technological libraries. The EDETV counts 148 library-members from all across Greece.
The online ordering of articles is operated by the National Network of Scientific and Technological Libraries (EDETV). Any Library user who is interested in ordering a copy of a journal article from another Greek library can first search for that journal on the online database operated by the National Collective Catalogue of Scientific Journals (ESKEP) of Greek scientific and technological libraries, using the full name of the journal or the journal’s ISSN number or search for it by keywords in the title etc. When the search results are displayed, users can see, among other things, the catalogues of the Greek Libraries that include the item in their collections along with the information about that collection, such as available issues and the dates of the publications. Users can also see if a Library is a member of the EDETV.
Subsequently, the user can place his or her request in-person with the Library staff and order a copy of the journal article s/he is interested in. As a member of the EDETV, the University of the Aegean Library has access to the Interlibrary Loan System and carries out the online ordering on behalf of the user from any Library member of EDETV. A copy of the journal article is delivered via email, fax, mail or courier (delivery period may vary from one (1) to fifteen (15) days), and users are notified to collect the copy from their local branch.
The Interlibrary Loan System of the EDETV informs the Library about the current status of an order and keeps a tracking record of the network history usage by the library (executed, pending or rejected requests). Users are charged for online ordering and the fees are determined by the National Documentation Centre (EKT).
