General Information
As used here, document delivery is defined as the copying of items held at UCLA that is done by library staff at the request and on behalf of users. This service is provided only for articles available in print collections held in UCLA libraries; users should consult the UC Library Search catalog before submitting a request to make sure that UCLA has a print copy of the journal the article appears in. Unless another delivery option is selected, requested print articles are scanned and posted on a secure web server, and requesters are notified by email when the articles are available for viewing/printing.
Book loans are NOT available through this service. Individuals with current UCLA library cards can borrow books in person. Those without library cards should contact their local public or college libraries to request interlibrary loans of UCLA books; the UCLA Library offers interlibrary loans only through other libraries or institutions.
