Requesting Books from Norris Medical Library:
If you are a University Park Campus (UPC) student, staff, or faculty and need a book from the Norris Medical Library, sign-in to your IDD Account and fill out a loan request form. If the item available from Norris Medical Library, the item will sent to Leavey Library for pick-up and you will receive an e-mail when it is ready. If your request not available, it will be processed as a inter-library loan.
If you are a Health Sciences Campus (HSC), student, staff, or faculty, please see IDD and Health Sciences Campus.
Requesting Audio-Visual Materials:
- Audio-visual material such as DVD, CD, VHS, and other recordings are difficult to find. Please note that these types of requests may require more time to locate and borrow.
- IDD may cancel requests for audio-visual materials at any time when abuse of the service is suspected. This includes excessive requesting of popular films and television programs on DVD, audio books, and music CDs.
- IDD staff may request documentation from an instructor to confirm materials requested support research and/or coursework.
International Borrowing:
- We are currently unable to borrow physical materials from international libraries or institutions due to high loss rate and long wait times for delivery.
- Limited exceptions can be made on a case by case basis.
- Please note that this does not affect obtaining scans or paper copies from international libraries.
For microfilm requests and scanning options, please see Microfilm Scanning.
