Document Delivery for Non-Affiliated Individuals and Corporations

Ebling Library serves the medical information needs of those not affiliated with the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

If you are affiliated and have a valid University of Wisconsin-Madison ID, see Library Express.
Obtain scanned copies of book chapters and articles from our print collection. If the article is not available on campus or if there are electronic licensing restrictions, we can order from document suppliers.

Copyright Guidelines
The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specific conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use," that user may be liable for copyright infringement. This institution reserves the right to refuse a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.
Ebling Library follows U.S. copyright guidelines. It is the client's responsibility to determine whether their use of a photocopy fits into "fair use" or not. If not, we advise you to pay the copyright royalty through the Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) Web site at http://www.copyright.com/ccc/home.do.
