Document Delivery FAQ & Tips

How long will it take?
Material available within the UMDNJ Libraries is the easiest to obtain and should be available within 2 business days. If you know a journal is available at another UMDNJ campus please note that on the request form.

When an article is not available within the UMDNJ Libraries, other library sources will be consulted. In general, filling requests routed to outside libraries takes 4-7 business days but most articles are available sooner.

What can I do to make the process more efficient?

Complete the entire form.
Include as much citation information as possible. If you need help in verifying citation information, please consult library staff..
A legible request is easier to process.
Indicate a "need by" or "not needed after" date on your requests.
Don't wait until the last minute! Submit requests ahead of when you need them.
ONLY patient care emergencies qualify for RUSH service.
When placing request(s), indicate if you/your department is willing to pay a fee if incurred, and include the grant or departmental billing code.
If you have used OVID Medline or PubMed, list the Unique Identifier (UI) or PubMed ID (PMID) when placing requests for articles.

Requests for Articles or Books

Many articles are available online through Findit@UMDNJ. For more information read this Findit@UMDNJ FAQ. If the article is not online or in print at your campus library you may be able to place an ILL request via the Web, or with a paper form available at your campus library's circulation desk.

Note: UMDNJ and affiliated healthcare personnel must place requests with their respective campus library.

Dissertations and Master's Theses

These materials can be difficult for libraries to obtain through ILL. Very few institutions circulate or photocopy them. In addition, academic departments (not libraries) often maintain these collections.

Please contact your campus library for further information or assistance, or use ProQuest/UMI Dissertation Publishing to order (this is a fee service.)

Loansome Doc

Users of PubMed may enjoy the convenience of requesting documents through Loansome Doc. Check the UMDNJ Loansome Doc fact sheet for more information about how to use this service.

Costs

There is no charge for interlibrary loan service for UMDNJ students, faculty, staff and affiliate healthcare personnel (RWJUH, KHS, Cooper/UMC) provided the Library is able to obtain the item within the state of New Jersey.

If library staff cannot locate the requested item in-state, or if a request exceeds the fair use limits allowed by copyright law, patrons will (with prior consent) incur the charges levied by the supplying out-of-state library or commercial document delivery service. Charges vary. For further information on this, and on any applicable charges for in-house photocopying service, please contact your local campus library.
