Improved Document Delivery for Distance Education Students
Starting January 16th, UI students, faculty and staff enrolled in a Distance Education Program 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, they will also be able to track their requests online. This isn’t a new service; students, 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 held by the UI Libraries (excluding the Law Library) can be photocopied and delivered to a home address or delivered electronically through email. To ensure delivery, staff should list their status as Distance Education Program when they register. Books will be delivered to the address you register with. The $3 minimum fee will be charged to your University bill. For students enrolled in a program that has made financial arrangements with the Libraries, the cost will be charged to the program account.
Books will be delivered and photocopies will be mailed or delivered electronically via e-mail within 24-48 hours.
