How to request documents to SURAD
- Non-CSIC Libraries
- Libraries not belonging to CSIC Library and Archive Network must send their requests using the management system of the CSIC Document Delivery Service (GTBib/SOD). If the requesting library also uses GTBib/SOD or a compatible system, communication between systems will be automatic. Otherwise, the requesting library will have to ask SURAD to register as a user of CSIC Document Delivery Service. The library will receive a user name and password to access the system.
