Document Delivery and Interlibrary Loan: The library makes every attempt to locate and borrow materials for study, research, or teaching. The normal turnaround time for interlibrary loans is 2-5 work days. There are two ways of submitting requests:

• Document Deliverey Request Form: Allows user to order books, articles and other materials not owned by Borland Library.
• Loansome Doc: Allows users to order full-text copies of articles directly from PubMed.

Photocopying: Self-service photocopiers are available in the library. Copies cost $.13 per page. Photocopy cards may be purchased from a vending machine next to the photocopiers. There is a one-time cost of $.35 for each card. Card holders can add value to the card at the vending machine. The vending maching will accept $1, $5, $10 and $20 bills. Some departments have photocopy cards available to their staff. However, these cards are kept in the departments, not in the library.

Reference Services: Library staff can support your clinical, research and teaching needs by locating factual information related to disease, therapy or procedures. Look for the database search request form under Quick Links. Usual turnaround time for search requests is 1-3 days.
