Interlibrary Loan Borrowing Service

Library materials not owned by the UCHC Library may be requested by any UConn Health Center faculty, staff or student (identified by a barcoded, UCHC I.D.) by submitting an interlibrary loan request form. The request must be related to research, education or clinical activity being pursued at UCHC.

Interlibrary Loan request forms available at the Circulation Desk, the Information Desk, in the Interlibrary Loan office or, use one of the online forms. For assistance in using the Electronic Request Forms, read these hints .

A separate request form must be completely filled out, including the source of the citation, for each item or article requested.

Interlibrary Loans cost $10.00 per transaction for UCHC faculty and staff. Requests must be PRE-PAID or have departmental FRS coding. Online forms submitted by faculty and staff require FRS coding. If FRS coding is not available you must use the printed form available in the library.

Regular delivery of ILL material for UCHC students is provided at no charge. However, RUSH requests (needed within 3 working days) cost $5.00 per transaction. RUSH charges must be pre-paid. It is not possible to borrow books on a RUSH basis.

We can attempt to borrow most types of library material not owned by the UCHC library. Usually, reference material or works subject to copyright restrictions are not available on loan to us.

It will take approximately 4+ working days to fill an interlibrary loan. RUSH delivery is an option for photocopy requests.

Patrons may submit up to five requests per day.

The Interlibrary Loan Department is responsible for all transactions--loans are from library to library. We exercise the right to impose any restrictions we deem necessary to honor the lending library's policies.

Loansome Doc

UCHC faculty, staff and students who have been searching PubMed may wish to use the document ordering system, Loansome Doc. Before using the Loansome Doc system through the UCHC Library, consult our information and complete the registration form. This is a fee-based service for all faculty, staff, and students.

Document Delivery:

Due to high subscription costs and newly available methods of providing journal articles, selected titles are available through Document Delivery.

Selected Document Delivery titles are also noted in Lyman, the Library's online catalogue.

UCHC faculty, staff and students (identified by a barcoded, UCHC I.D.) may request articles from these selected titles. The Library will absorb the costs associated with up to 5 requests per person for each title.

Articles needed within 1-5 days will be faxed with no guarantee of readable quality.  Articles needed within 6-25 days will be mailed from the document supplier.  These articles will be excellent photocopies or original tearsheets from journals.

A Document Delivery form should be filled out for each Document Delivery article requested. Request forms are also available at the Circulation Desk and Reference Desk .
