Document Delivery

Users who wish to obtain a scan from UCLA Library collection can utilize our document delivery service.

More Information

Overview

Document delivery allows UCLA Library staff to makes PDFs of items for users. This fee-based service is provided only for articles in print collections. Users should consult UC Library Search before submitting a request to make sure UCLA has a print copy of the item.

Items will be scanned and posted as PDFs on a secure web server. Requesters will be emailed when the articles are available.

Books are not available through document delivery. Individuals with current UCLA library cards can borrow books in person. Those without library cards should contact their local library to request an interlibrary loan.
