The Deposit of the university library (DBU) stores part of the UNIGE Library's printed collections. Documents from the DBU can be ordered free of charge from other UNIGE Library sites, or on interlibrary loan (for a fee). The DBU also offers a scan on demand service (see details on the page dedicated to scan on demand at the UNIGE).

The DBU is open by appointment, only for specific academic research needs.
