Document Delivery Service

Document Delivery Service obtains through interlibrary loan (ILL) materials not available in the Ehrman Medical Library collection. We also provide copies of documents our library owns to qualified users.

We do not serve the NYU Washington Square campus.

Hours
8:30am - 5:00pm (Monday-Friday)
Phone
(212) 263-5388

Affiliated library users (NYUMC, NYUSOM, and College of Dentistry)

Affiliated users may request items not owned by the medical library using our interlibrary loan form. Please check our catalog before requesting interlibrary loans.

Including the article’s unique identifier (PMID or UI) from citations in MEDLINE will speed delivery time.

For problems accessing the ILL form, please contact us at (212) 263-5388.

Nearly half of all requests made are delivered within three business days, and all requests are delivered within seven to ten days. Articles delivered by email must be saved or printed within two weeks of receipt.

Rush interlibrary loan (delivery within 48 hours) is available for $5 per article.

If you pull a book from the library’s collection and bring it to DDS, we will copy and email any chapter or article for $2.00 each.
