Many of the documents that we receive from other libraries are delivered to us in an electronic format. These files produce higher quality printouts than faxed documents, and can be delivered in seconds instead of days. Delivering documents over the network can save from 2-7 days or more over US mail, and save you a trip to the library to pick up your request. You will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer.
Unfortunately, not all documents will be delivered in this manner, so we cannot guarantee that this will be the method of delivery. We also have no control over how the original document is scanned, so you will need to let us know if you encounter any missing pages or unreadable text.
To use this service, select Electronic on the ILS Request form. And be sure to give us your preferred email address (UofH recommended). |
