Improved Document Delivery to Oakdale
Starting September 5th, UI faculty and staff with offices on the Oakdale campus will be able to login to the Libraries’ online Interlibrary Loan system to request books, journal articles and other materials. In addition to making their requests online, staff at Oakdale will also be able to track their requests online. This isn’t a new service; faculty and staff have been able to request delivery of materials from the UI Libraries for years, but now they can do it completely online.
Any article from a journal (excluding microforms and newspapers) held by the UI Libraries can be photocopied and delivered to an Oakdale campus address or delivered electronically through email. To ensure delivery to the Oakdale campus, staff should list their Oakdale Campus address and choose Oakdale Hall as their Pick-Up Library location when they register. Books will be delivered to the Mail Room (M108) in Oakdale Hall, located on the Oakdale Campus. Books may be deposited in the same area for return to the UI Libraries.
Books will be delivered and photocopies will be mailed or delivered electronically via e-mail within 24-48 hours.
