If you need a book or article that cannot be found in our library collection or the main campus library collection, you may be able to borrow it through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). Through ILL, the Health Sciences Library will borrow materials that it doesn’t own from other libraries for you.

Students, Faculty, Staff, and Residents at the College of Medicine are also eligible for Document Delivery Services, in which the Health Sciences Library will provide you with PDF’s of articles that are owned by the library. These services include the following:

  • All articles owned by the UCF libraries in electronic form will be delivered to your email account as an easily-downloadable PDF.
  • Most requests will be processed in one business day. In some cases, it may take an extra day or two to process your request.

To Order Books

  • You can send an email directly to medlibraryILL@ucf.edu. Please include sufficient detail about the book you need to help us locate it.
  • Make your request using our book request form.
  • Please note that in order to have a book delivered from the John C. Hitt Library on the UCF Main Campus, you will need to make an interlibrary loan request through our library using either of the two methods described above. We will order the book on your behalf and let you know when it is available for pick-up at our library front desk.

To Order Articles or Book Chapters

  • You can send an email directly to medlibraryILL@ucf.edu. Please include sufficient detail about the article or book chapter you need to help us locate it.
  • While logged into PubMed through our website, click on the yellow UCF COM Find Full Text button on any article. If we do not subscribe to the journal, you will see options for acquiring a PDF from our library through interlibrary loan or our Get It Now service.
  • Articles and book chapters will be emailed to you using the email address you provide when making your request.

Questions or concerns regarding ILL requests can be directed to Casey Goerg; she can be reached via email at medlibraryILL@ucf.edu.
