Loansome Doc Service for UW Affiliates

Loansome Doc allows users to order copies of articles after searching PubMed. University of Washington students, staff, and faculty should use the instructions below. Separate instructions are available for Non-UW affiliates, (including UW alumni).

 

Pilot Project March through June 2009 - FEES WAIVED FOR UW!

From March 2009 through June 2010 the UW Libraries are conducting a pilot project waiving our fees for interlibrary loans and scanned copies of journal articles to current UW students, faculty and staff.

The pilot project will allow the Libraries to determine actual demand for the service and make budget projections. The final decision about permanent implementation of this service will depend largely on future budget constraints and demands.

See http://www.lib.washington.edu/ill/pilot.html for more details.

To ensure prompt processing of your document requests, it is crucial that you read the following information completely and follow all instructions to complete the Loansome Doc registration process.

  1. Fees are associated with ordering. For more information about fees, see Document Services and Fees.
  2. You must use your UW NetID and give your Department or you will be charged at the Non-UW price which is much higher. Use the Comments to Library field to give special billing information, such as your budget number. If no special billing information is given, you will be invoiced monthly.
  3. The Authorization Code for the University of Washington Health Sciences Libraries is WAUWAS.
  4. UW-affiliates do not need to specify a Max Cost per Article. All services have a fixed rate depending on payment methods. Please consult our price list for details.
  5. Your Loansome Doc requests will be imported into our request management database, ILLiad. You will be able to access your articles through ILLiad by logging in with your UW NetID and password. Note: This login is different than your Loansome Doc login.
