Requesting Articles with Ovid and DartDoc

For Dartmouth-Hitchcock Alliance and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic Users Outside of Hanover and Lebanon

Ovid users* may request copies of articles directly from the results of their searches. There is no charge to Dartmouth Medical School faculty or to physicians and employees at Central Vermont Medical Center, New London Hospital, or Weeks Medical Center. Others are charged $12 per article when the journal is owned by the Biomedical Libraries; interlibrary loan is available only to those with established LoansomeDoc deposit accounts.

Links to “Document Delivery” will appear with each citation:
