NATO Multimedia Library: VISITORS

Unfortunately, the Multimedia Library will remain closed to all external visitors until the end of the year. We hope to welcome you back in 2021.

Visitor Access

Anyone wishing to visit the Multimedia Library must first complete and send a Visitor Request Form to the Library (multilib@hq.nato.int) describing the subject of the research.

Processing and confirmation of the request form takes a minimum of 10 working days. Once approved, Library access is granted for a period of six months, after which an application for an extension has to be filed.

After receiving access confirmation, visitors will come to NATO Headquarters on the dates arranged beforehand. Dates must be arranged at least one day in advance.

Interlibrary Loans Policy (for non-NATO staff)

Non-NATO staff may borrow books from the Library's collection only through their local library as we only lend books to other libraries. As an individual, please ask your local library to request an Interlibrary Loan (ILL) with us.

The Multimedia Library accepts ILL requests from other libraries in Belgium and abroad :

• It is member of Impala, the Belgian electronic document ordering system for libraries, and its collections are accessible via Antilope (the Belgian union catalog of periodicals) and UniCat (the Belgian union catalog of monographs).
• ILL requests can also be sent directly to us. Please contact the Multimedia Library (multilib@hq.nato.int or phone: +32(0)2 707 4414) for terms and conditions.

All the books included in the Catalog are available for interlibrary loan (ILL). The only exception are items marked with 'Collection Type: Reference Collection', which must be consulted on the premises.
