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.

Notice: Warning Concerning Copyright Restrictions

The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted materials.

Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use," that user may be liable for copyright infringement.

This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.

I hereby authorize the UCLA Library's Document Delivery Service to process all requests submitted by me. I agree to pay any charges incurred for the service and confirm that the material requested is for personal use, private study, scholarship, and research only. I further affirm that this reproduction order is in compliance with the University of California Policy and Guidelines for the Reproduction of Copyright Material for Teaching and Research.
