UCSC DOCUMENT DELIVERY SERVICES

Slug Express and Interlibrary Loan have MERGED

ALL YOUR DOCUMENT DELIVERY NEEDS--HANDLED IN ONE OFFICE

Slug Express is a document delivery service providing UCSC-owned material from McHenry and the Science & Engineering Library to UCSC faculty, staff, and graduate students on campus. Both Slug Express and Interlibrary Loan orders can be placed using the methods described on our main page.

Slug Express requests that cannot be filled from either McHenry or the Science & Engineering Library, will automatically be forwarded to Interlibrary Loan. The document delivery staff will order the book from another library. If you place an Interlibrary Loan request for a book that is held at a UCSC library, it will be sent to you as if it were a Slug Express request.

Please note: This means if you place a Slug Express for an item that is checked out, we will get the book from another library. If you need the UCSC copy, you should recall your book online, or request assistance from the circulation desk.

If you place a request through Slug Express for a photocopy or a scan of an article that we own, you must specify whether you will pay the $3.50 per article (up to 50 pages) with a recharge number or whether you would prefer to be invoiced. If you would like to pay with a departmental recharge number (FOAPAL) please include your number on each order. Your department manager can help you set up a recharge number if you do not have one.

If you do not specify we will invoice you, we will not email to confirm.

Slug Express does not provide delivery of non-circulating material, i.e. whole issues/volumes of bound journals, microfilm, materials on reserve, Reference, Special Collections, or Film & Music Center material. We cannot provide copies or scans of articles available on microfilm. You will need to visit the library to view these materials.

As we merge our services, please be aware that you will need to monitor both your Cruzcat account and your Interlibrary Loan account.

Please contact us with any questions you might have, at 459-2234 or ill@library.ucsc.edu
