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 are 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. Books borrowed from any UConn campus will not be charged. Requests must be PRE-PAID or have departmental FRS coding. If FRS coding is not available use the printed form available in the library.
• Delivery of ILL material for UCHC students is provided at no charge.
• 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 2+ working days to fill a journal article request. Book requests will take longer due to mail time.
• 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 will be provided, at no cost, 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, per year, for each title.

  A Document Delivery form should be filled out for each Document Delivery article requested.
