DartDoc is Dartmouth College Library's system for requesting documents (books, articles, patents, etc.) for your research. It includes what is traditionally known as “interlibrary loan” as well as our document delivery service to request material from Dartmouth libraries.
• Dartmouth College faculty, students, and employees.
• DHMC physicians, students, and employees.
• Registered alumni and guest borrowers.
You may see all your borrowing privileges here.
For materials not held within the Dartmouth College Library system:
• Everyone eligible for DartDoc may request material not owned by the Dartmouth College Library.
For materials held within the Dartmouth College Library system:
• Faculty and employees may request material that is owned by any Library. Books may be requested to be delivered from one campus library to another and held for you to pick up; articles will be copied and delivered to you.
• Graduate and undergraduate students, alumni and guest borrowers may request books and articles from Storage or Matthews-Fuller only. For material at other Dartmouth Libraries, you will be responsible for retrieving those items.
• At this time, faculty, physicians, students, and employees are not charged for most requests.
• In the rare instance that obtaining the material for you costs the Library more than $35.00, faculty, students, and employees may be charged the amount over $35.00. You will be notified in such a case and asked if you want to continue with the request.
• Other eligible DartDoc users are charged a minimum of $16.00 per request.
The first time you use DartDoc you will need to register and create your own username and password. Choose one of the “First-Time Users Need to Register” links at the top of this page to go to the appropriate registration form. There is no need to register twice, just choose one library and register. You can update your profile to change your pickup location at any time.
Your username can be anything you like, such as your name, abbreviations, or an alphanumeric code. Your password also can be anything you like. We recommend that you follow good security practice and choose a password that is different from those you use to access other systems. Keep in mind that both username and password are case sensitive.
The personal information you provide upon registering is kept confidential and you can update this information at any time. Your username and password allows us to give you secure access to information about your requests. The password you set is stored in an encrypted file. No one but you will know your password unless you share it with them. Even the library staff will not know your password; the staff can reset your password, however, should you forget it.
There is no need to register twice, just choose one library and register for that. You can update your profile to change your pickup location at any time.
In the event that you forget your password,you can click on the 'Forgot Password?' link on the logon page. Or, please contact your library's circulation desk or the appropriate document delivery office during office hours.

Yes, the catalog’s “Request Selected Item” feature is an excellent way for faculty and staff to request books available in the Dartmouth Libraries. Students, alumni and guest borrowers may also use it to request books from Storage and Matthews-Fuller.
Yes. Borrow Direct is probably the quickest way to get books not available in the Dartmouth Libraries. If a book isn't available through Borrow Direct, then use DartDoc.
DartDoc allows you to check on the progress of your request. Statuses are assigned as the request moves through the DartDoc system. Click here for an explanation of each status.
For customer convenience, the pickup of books has been moved to the circulation desks, which have longer hours than the DartDoc offices. Therefore we need to check the books out in the DartDoc system before they leave our office in order for any future overdue notices to be sent out.
• For materials available in the Dartmouth libraries, requests are generally filled within 2 working days.
• Items that must be obtained from other libraries’ collections take longer, an average of 7 to 10 days.
• If you keep a loan more than 14 days overdue, DartDoc will block your privileges. All privileges will be reinstated when you return the item.
• Lending libraries are less likely to let us borrow again if you keep an item overdue.
• If you consistently keep items overdue, we reserve the right to refuse to borrow books from other libraries on your behalf.
If you lose or damage a loaned item, you must pay the replacement cost and any processing fees charged by the lending library.
Copies of articles in PDF format will be made available for access through DartDoc. You will be notified by e-mail when your requested article is available.
Use one of the “Connect to DartDoc” links at the top of this page. At the DartDoc Main Menu, click on “Electronically Received Articles” under the “View” in the left menu bar. Your requests will be available to you on DartDoc for 30 days after completion. You can view your request history by selecting the "Completed Requests" link on the Main Menu page after logging in.
If you find that your delivered article has unclear or missing pages, or you have difficulty opening the article, contact the appropriate document delivery office during office hours (Monday - Friday, 8am-4:30pm):
• E-mail Dart.Doc@Dartmouth.edu or call (603) 646-2596.
• E-mail Biomedical.Libraries.Document.Delivery@Dartmouth.edu or call (603) 650-1656.
Include the DartDoc transaction number (TN) for the article and a description of the problem.
The Active Server Pages technology that we use to provide live reporting for the web sends a Session ID to be stored on your machine. You can refuse this cookie and still be able to use DartDoc without any problems.
Yes. Web browsers cache information and create a history file on the local workstation. This allows a subsequent user of the workstation to access the system under your name using the browser's Back button to recall a page from the cache, or by finding a page with your personal information in the browser's history file. If you are concerned about the security of your requests, you can take the following steps:
• Access DartDoc only from your personal computer or an otherwise secure workstation.
• If using a public access workstation, exit from the Web browser before you leave the workstation. This prevents the Back button from accessing the pages you were using.
DartDoc will provide pertinent information to all users by using the alerts function which posts messages directly on the DartDoc screen. One may also use an RSS reader to have news delivered to a computer automatically.
