IDD: What can I request?

The following material types can be requested through IDD:

  • Books*
  • Journal articles
  • Book chapters
  • Dissertations/Theses
  • Audio-visual material**
  • Musical Scores
  • Microforms (Microfilm/microfiche)***
  • Conference papers
  • E-books (subject to availability)

 

*Requesting Books from Norris Medical Library:

  • If you are a UPC faculty, staff, or student and need to request a book from the Norris Medical Library, sign-in to your IDD Account and complete the loan request form. If the item available from Norris, the item will sent to Leavey Library for pick-up.  If it's unavailable from Norris, it will be processed as a normal interlibrary loan book.

     

**Requesting Audio-Visual Materials:

  • Audio-visual material such as DVD, CD, VHS, and other recordings are difficult to find. Please note that these types of requests may require more time to locate and borrow.
  • IDD may cancel requests for audio-visual materials at any time when abuse of the service is suspected.  This includes excessive requesting of popular films and television programs on DVD, audio books, and music CDs. 
  • IDD staff may request documentation from an instructor to confirm materials requested support research and/or coursework.
