MBLWHOI Library

Requesting a Book or an Article from Another Library

Interlibrary loan services are available to members of the Woods Hole scientific community holding a valid Access Card. Requests for books or documents  may be made using our online Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan form. For more information, please see our interlibrary loan policies and procedures.

Electronic Delivery of Articles from Another Library

The Library now offers remote access to your interlibrary loan documents. When we receive the article you requested, we send you an e-mail with an embedded link to the article for immediate access as well as instructions, if you so choose, on how to download the PDF from a web site. These added features allow you to read your interlibrary loan requests from anywhere in the world by using the Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan form

Document Delivery Service

Members of the Woods Hole scientific community holding a valid Access Card may request that articles be scanned from the print volumes in the MBLWHOI Library.  Staff will retrieve the journal volume, scan and email the article directly to you. You will need to provide an account or project  number for this service ($.15/scanned page). Use the Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan form

Interlibrary Loan to Other Libraries

Please note that we only do interlibrary loan to other libraries, not individuals. If you are an outside library interested in getting something from us via interlibrary loan, please see our borrowing information.
