Faculty, students, and staff of Dartmouth
College, Dartmouth Medical School, and the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical
Center/Lebanon may request photocopies/images of articles from journals in
the Dartmouth libraries' collections and from journals not located at
Dartmouth. Personnel of the Central Vermont Medical Center, the Gifford
Medical Center, and the New London Hospital may request copies/images of
articles from journals in the Biomedical Libraries' collections and from
journals not located at Dartmouth.
Articles from journals owned by non-Biomedical
Dartmouth College libraries may be requested through this document delivery
service by all eligible Lebanon-based clients and by Hanover-based faculty and
administrative staff. Hanover-based students are expected to visit the other
Dartmouth libraries to make their own copies, with the exception of the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practicegraduate students who may request articles located at the Feldberg Business and
Engineering Library.
Delivery: Articles may be delivered via
email (in PDF format), fax, interoffice mail, or U.S. Mail, or held for pick up
at one of the Biomedical Libraries. Requests will be processed within two
working days; actual delivery may take longer, depending on the circumstances.
We will rush your request, for urgent
patient-care needs only, at no charge.
For non-patient care rush requests, there will
be a charge of $25.00 for each article requested. Payment is due at the
time of pick-up. We will accept cash, a check made payable to "Dartmouth
College," and department account numbers.
Please Note: Rush requests are processed at
any time from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday. Every effort will be
made to fill any rush request by the next working day. Actual delivery may take
longer, depending on the circumstances.
Occasionally a document is not available
through interlibrary loan, but may be able to be purchased. Document
Delivery staff will research the cost of the document and will inform you of
the cost, and will confirm whether or not you are still interested in obtaining
the document. The Biomedical Libraries will cover the cost of the document up
to $35. You will be expected to pay the additional amount over $35.
There are four ways to request journal articles:
- DartDoc: Dartmouth's web-based interlibrary loan/document delivery system
(Guide to registering for and using DartDoc.)

- through PubMed's ordering feature called "Loansome Doc." Click
