| What is Interlibrary Loan? | |||||||||||||
| Journal articles, books, book chapters, meeting abstracts and other items not available from the Research Medical Library can be requested from another library through interlibrary loan. Please make sure the Library does not own the item by first checking the Library Catalog, our Online Journals and the Online Journal Collection at HAM-TMC Library (educational access registration required for Online Journal Collection at HAM-TMC Library). Interlibrary loan is free for M. D. Anderson employees and students, although charges apply for “Rush” services and patents (see below). The Research Medical Library will pay copyright fees or lending charges. It generally takes 2-14 days to obtain materials. Materials that are in high demand, generally non-circulating, or not widely held may take considerably longer to acquire. Most articles are delivered electronically. | |||||||||||||
| Document Scanning and Loan Service | |||||||||||||
| All M.D. Anderson employees and students, regardless of location, qualify for our document scanning and loan service. Journal articles, book chapters and meeting abstracts from the Research Medical Library’s print collection not available online will be scanned and delivered electronically. Books will be checked out to you and can either be held for pickup or mailed through inter-office mail. Document scanning and loan service is free; however, turnaround time may vary depending on Library workload (please allow 2-7 days). Rush service is generally not available for these items. If you need an item within 24 hours, please come to the library and retrieve it. | |||||||||||||
| How We Deliver Items to You | |||||||||||||
You may choose among the following Delivery Preferences:
|
|||||||||||||
| Rush Service | |||||||||||||
Interlibrary loan materials may be requested on a “Rush” basis for a $10.00 charge. (Books cannot be rushed). This can be paid in cash or through a departmental account. The Company/Cost Center number and the name of the individual granting Company/Cost Center privileges must be included on the request form in order for the rush to be processed. Please check the RUSH box on your request form when ordering and also put the Company/Cost Center number, as well as the word Rush in the notes field. Or if you are paying cash, add Rush and Will pay cash in the notes field. Rushes will be delivered in 24 hours, weekends not counting. |

| Patents | |||||||||||||
| Patents not available on the Internet may be requested through Interlibrary Loan. However, any charges are passed on to the client and may be paid in cash or through a departmental account (see above in Rush Service). | |||||||||||||
