IDD: Eligibility

All University of Southern California University Park Campus (UPC) and Health Sciences Campus (HSC) faculty, staff, graduate students, and undergraduate students currently employed and enrolled with the University are eligible to request materials through IDD.

Please note the following exceptions:

  • Gould School of Law students, staff and faculty must use Asa V. Call Law Library Interlibrary Loan.
  • Unfortunately, Visiting Scholars are currently ineligible for IDD services.
  • Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) users should contact CHLA Clinical & Research Librarian Kathryn Gstalder to request materials through IDD.
  • We are unable to set up proxy accounts for interlibrary loan as well and cannot transfer loans to other user accounts. The original requestor is ultimately responsible for the condition and timely return of physical materials obtained through interlibrary loan.

We humbly request that patrons not contact libraries that hold materials being requested before submitting a request.  This often results in confusion, extra expense, and delays.
