Welch processes up to five requests per patron per day. The Not Wanted After Date line on the Weldoc form should be filled in so that the library will not try to fill a request that is no longer needed. Users will be notified by email when their material comes in and it will be held for them at the Circulation Desk for two weeks. Users who prefer electronic delivery will receive a email message with an attached article. Items will be sent electronically only if we receive the article that way.
Electronic delivery takes less time and has several advantages.
If the holding library lends its dissertations and masters' theses, Welch will attempt to borrow them. If the holding university does not lend, the patron must obtain the item himself from University Microfilms. Forms for University Microfilms are located at the Welch Information Desk. Further information on costs and alternatives is available. Emergency Fax Service Welch will transmit facsimile requests for interlibrary loans in case of a clinical emergency where time is a factor.
