Eligibility for Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery Services:
Stimson Library provides interlibrary loans free to current U.S. Army Medical Center of Excellence faculty, students, staff, and administrators, regardless of campus or off-site facility location, hereafter referred to as “users” in accordance with MEDCoE policy memo 25-10. If you are not part of MEDCoE then please contact your local library for services.
We attempt to borrow most items. Whole issues of journals, genealogical materials, dissertations, and a/v may be difficult to obtain. Due to copyright restrictions, articles may be borrowed once only. Books and other materials needed more than once will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
Requesting materials:
Users requesting an Interlibrary loan must use an interlibrary loan form. Requests for monographs should include the work’s author, title, publisher, and publication year. Requests for journal articles should include author, title, journal title, volume, issue, date of publication and page numbers.
All interlibrary loan requests must be mission essential or be within the subject scope of Stimson Library. Requests for popular or recreational reader material will be referred to the JBSA FSH Post Library.
Interlibrary Loan Turnaround Time and Delivery
Article requests
Stimson Library has excellent turnaround time with article requests being received within 1-3 days. Articles are delivered to the email address you supplied upon request.
Book requests
Turnaround time with books is from 1-2 weeks due to the schoolhouse limited mailroom hours. You will be notified by email when your items arrive. Books are held at the Circulation Desk for pickup.
Returning Loans
Return loans to the Circulation Desk with the label or book strap attached. Please return all materials on time. The lending library establishes the due date and the terms of the loan and may place restrictions on the use of the material. Stimson Library may place additional restrictions on the use of borrowed material, if the material is considered valuable or irreplaceable.
Interlibrary loans supplied as photocopies or electronic copies of library materials are retained by the requestor. These interlibrary loans are generally, depending on copyright and license restrictions, delivered by e-mail.
Renewing Loans
Submit renewal requests through email or in person on or before the due date. Renewals are granted by the lending library only. You may keep the book until we provide you with the new due date or request that you return the item. We will send an email to you with the new due date.
Charges
There is no charge for electronic copies of journal articles and non-circulating material for users.
