Availability of resources

Due to licence restrictions, most resources on the library website are only available on campus. You can access online library resources from home by setting up a VPN connection to the TU Delft network.

Library collection

Use the search box at the top right of the library website to search the library’s collection with our search engine Discover.
Click on the title in the list of results to go to the title information; here you can find the location and check the availability.

Icons for availability options

If a book that you need is not in the TU Delft collection, you can use the Inter Library Loan (ILL) service to order it from another library (in Dutch: Interbibliothecair Leenverkeer or IBL). Note that you will have to pay for this service!

Contact Customer Services for more information. See: Charges and payment options.

You can also suggest books for acquisition by the library, but do allow several weeks for ordering and administration.

Journals and journal articles

The fastest and easiest way to access journals and journal articles is to use SFX.

All journal titles and journal articles that can be found using bibliographic databases or search engines  (e.g. Discover, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar) have an SFX button or SFX link that looks like this: 

   or 

If you’re unable to access the Google Scholar SFX link off campus, you need to do the following:

Go to the Google Scholar homepage

• Click “Scholar Preferences”.
• Type “Delft” into the Library Links box, and click “Find Library”.
• Select ”Technische Universiteit Delft - TU Delft SFX full text”.
