Borrowing Resources the Library Does Not Own

Are you looking for a full-text article or a physical book that the Medical Center Library does not own?? We have a service that will help! 

To order resources that the library does not own, you can utilize our InterLibrary Loan Service. Here are a few highlights of this service: 

  • You can submit requests for full-text PDFs online
  • There is no charge to Duke students, faculty, or staff 
  • Includes journal articles and book chapters delivered to you as emailed PDF links
  • 1 to 4 day turn-around for most requests (larger requests may take longer than 4 days to fill)

Tips for using this service

  • Create your account with this link by logging in with your DHE Active Directory username and password. You can also monitor your active requests on this page 
  • When searching for an article via PubMed, submit your request through the "Getit@Duke" button and your citations will automatically populate into the request (be sure to choose "Request - Med Center user" before placing the request) 
  • Create a manual request here
