Access Services: Interlibrary Loan / Photocopy Services

This guide provides a description of our Access Services, Circulation and Interlibrary Loan Departments which details borrowing and checkout information, document delivery, reserves, etc.

DOCUMENT DELIVERY

General. Interlibrary Loan Services, located in room 310A on the third floor of the library building, provides books and printed materials not owned by the Robert M. Bird Health Sciences Library through a cooperative lending system comprised of many libraries. There is no charge to OUHSC-Oklahoma City campus faculty, students or staff for this service. Non-OUHSC patrons may obtain ILL service by paying current charges.

  • Borrowing and photocopying policies. All borrowing and photocopying of materials is done within the provisions of the General Interlibrary Loan Code of the American Library Association, the National Network of Libraries of Medicine/South Central Region Interlibrary Loan policy and the U.S. Copyright Law and accompanying guidelines.

Doctoral dissertations usually cannot be borrowed because of the agreements most universities have with University Microfilms International (UMI). Personal purchase options are available for most material using ProQuest Dissertation and Thesis website: http://search.proquest.com/dissertations/.
