All CDL resources can be accessed through the UCLA Library home page or directly . Access to some resources is restricted to users at public workstations within the libraries or to UCLA faculty, staff, and students with domain names of ucla.edu or dialing in on Bruin OnLine accounts. The UCLA Library provides several document delivery options to help faculty and staff obtain library materials quickly. After conducting a search in these databases, users will have the option of clicking on the items desired, then using the Request button to initiate the interlibrary loan process electronically. If the user requests materials that are held by the UCLA Library or are available in linked, online text versions, the request will not be accepted.
Users are limited to twenty article requests per day.
For more information about using Request, visit the CDL Web site or consult with staff at the reference desk in any campus library. Through this service, faculty and staff can request copies of articles or loans of books, which can then be delivered to departmental offices. A new fax service is also available for a slightly higher fee. The UCLA Library has added MD Consult to its growing list of online resources. The content of MD Consult includes 48 full-text medical journals, more than 35 reference books, some 600 clinical practice guidelines, and drug information for more than 30,000 medications.
