LOANSOME DOC
Wisconsin Primate Research Center
 

Loansome Doc is a service offered by the National Library of Medicine that allows registered users to submit document delivery requests directly from MEDLINE searches run on PubMed* to a particular "ordering library."  Users also have the ability to update account information and check the status of submitted requests.

Users at primate research programs supported by the National Center for Research Resources can register with the WPRC Library as their "ordering library" and have all document requests originating in MEDLINE searches submitted directly to the library, bypassing the need to re-enter citations in the Primate Document Delivery online form.

(*Note:  Loansome Doc is not available through the OVID Web Gateway.)

REGISTRATION

Eligible users must first register for the service in one of two ways:
