Interlibrary Loan

Document Delivery is a local service that provides article and book chapter scans from the UNLV Libraries' print collection (journals books and other materials) to UNLV students, faculty and staff. These documents are scanned and posted on our server for easy access and you receive a link to the electronic document via e-mail to view, download, or print.  There is no charge or fee for using this service at this time.
