Unfortunately we can't. EROMM is not a holding institution, and provides only metadata on digitized and microfilmed books. We don't have copies of the items. You may order copies from the institution holding the original items, though. If you found the item in the EROMM Classic database you can use our EROMM Request service to place your order if the holding institution supports this, which is indicated at the bottom of the record (“This item is available through EROMM Request. Click here to order a copy”).
If the holding institution doesn't support EROMM Request please contact them directly.
The overall search engine of EROMM is called EROMM Search. It's based on two databases. EROMM Classic is the original database of EROMM. It holds detailed bibliographic descriptions. EROMM Web Search is a recently developed database that contains information from sources which offer less detailed descriptions.
Using EROMM Search will query both databases and yield two result sets - one of each database. For more information please refer to EROMM Search - Description & Scope
You are right - usually we don't (see EROMM Search - Description & Scope), but sometimes its impossible for us to separate items out from a source that don't fit in our scope. In that case our philosophy is to rather take “everything” (including non-textual items) than to skip that source. So you will find some records “out of scope”.
This is probably because our update frequency can't keep up with record production of the source. Especially EROMM Classic gets updated less frequently, so there is always some delay (maybe one or two months). We try as fast as possible, but checking, validating and converting detailed bibliographic data takes some time.
Sure, we'd love to include them into our database. Please check How to Share Data with EROMM for details and a submission form. Thank you!
With the launch of this website we also moved EROMM Request to a new technical platform. Since the account management component of the new platform is not compatible with the old one, we have to ask you to create a new login.
