Document Delivery Services

The NDSU Libraries Document Delivery Service is a fee-based service that eliminates the more mundane aspects of retrieving information.  Use of the service is offered to NDSU faculty, staff, and graduate students only.  The Service is managed by, and located in, the Interlibrary Loan Office in the Main Library.  Telephone 231-8885 for information. 

What can I get through the service?  

  • Books:  we retrieve and checkout circulating books for you
  • Journal Articles:  we retrieve and photocopy articles for you
  • Interlibrary Loans:  if the book or journal articles isn't at NDSU Libraries, we request the material for you.
  • Plus:  We Deliver!  We deliver any of the above requested materials to any department/office address on campus.
How do I request items using the Document Delivery Service?
