Interlibrary Loan - Loansome Doc - Affiliated Users

Loansome Doc is a document ordering feature of MEDLINE via PubMed or the NLM Gateway. While reviewing citations from your search, you tag the articles you wish to order. Then, information identifying you and the desired article is uploaded to the National Library of Medicine, which forwards the information to your ordering library.

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) develops and makes available the PubMed searching interfaces with the Loansome Doc enhancement. NLM, however, is not the ordering library for Loansome Doc services. To use Loansome Doc you must make arrangements with a library (usually a local health sciences library) for provision of services. The Levy Library provides document delivery services and is happy to receive Loansome Doc requests from Mount Sinai faculty, staff, students and alumni.

We will read your request and then, if we can, we will copy the article and send it to you. If we do not have the article in our collection, we will request your article from another library using our interlibrary loan system.
