Effective immediately, Himmelfarb Library will now provide 30 free interlibrary requests for the year for all GW Nursing, GWSPH, and SMHS patrons between January and December! The allowed amount will reset at the beginning of each fiscal year (July 1 to June 30). We hope the change simplifies the service for users and allows them to maximize their use of Documents2Go’s interlibrary loan service!
Why the limit?
Due to the expensive nature of research articles, we are unable to lift the current limit to the number of allowable free requests. We will do everything we are able to obtain your article in a timely fashion.
Why the limit?
Articles are normally delivered within 24-72 hours. If your article takes longer than a week to receive, feel free to contact us at mlbdoc@gwu.edu to receive an update on your request.
Are there any other costs?
If you need to receive your requested article within 24 hours of creating it, you may designate your request as a “rush” request. Rush requests incur a $10 fee. After your acknowledgment of the additional cost, we will try to obtain your article within 24 hours. In the case that we are unable to obtain the article within the allotted time, you will not be charged.
How can I submit requests? Access Documents2Go then log in using your GW User ID and password. For accounts created before May 22, 2022, your GW UserID is the portion of your email address prior to the “@.” For accounts created after May 22, 2022, your GW UserID is your GWID (G#). If you are unable to access your account or have any additional questions about our Interlibrary Loan service let us know by contacting mlbdoc@gwu.edu
