Editor's note: The
following is a reprint of an article which we ran in our
February 2002, edition of On Target, and offers an overview for
the Off-Campus Library Services document delivery service. |
|
|
|
CMU’s Document Delivery office will
provide CEL students with books, copies of journal articles and
other materials free of charge – students need only pay return
shipping charges on books. In fact, students and faculty may
request up to 50 items per class per week – 20 per order if ordering
by phone. |
|
Please be certain your students know that
when making a request they need to include their student number, center
where registered, name and complete mailing address, daytime phone
number, course currently enrolled in and date after which material is no
longer needed. Specific information on how to order items can be found
at:
http://ocls.cmich.edu/ddorequests.htm.
Items available from the CMU library are
generally shipped or downloaded shortly after the request is made, but
when an item is not available at the CMU library, Document Delivery
personnel search for materials through the Interlibrary Loan program.
If requesting books not owned by the CMU
Library, the student will need to ask that the book be obtained from
another library through Interlibrary Loan. They will need to supply OCLS
staff with a 4 to 6 week "not needed after" date.
Off-Campus Library Services also offers
electronic document delivery. This features allows OCLS staff to scan
articles and send students to a unique URL that is available for six
days or five views. The students are then sent a notification via e-mail
that the document is available to view and are given PIN and Web link to
a login page. If students experience trouble downloading this material,
they can contact OCLS Document Delivery at (800) 274-3838 or
oclibsvc@cmich.edu.
