When we don't have the book

So what if you need a book but we don't have a copy available at the School of Medicine Library? Request it from someone else! There are two easy ways to have a book loaned to you from another library: PASCAL Delivers and Interlibrary Loan.

ILL Express! is the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) ordering system for the USC School of Medicine Library.  Books and journal articles can be borrowed from participating libraries across the country and delivered to you.  This service is available to School of Medicine faculty members, students, staff, and South Carolina health care practitioners, as well as other individuals and organizations in South Carolina who are not affiliated with the University. (Please note that the Library only processes requests for biomedical materials.)  This service is free for SOM faculty, students, and staff (limit of 10 requests at a time). For others, there is a charge for this service. 

Get almost any book from any college library in South Carolina in just days! PASCAL Delivers is an exciting new service that puts the collections of all of the college libraries in South Carolina at your fingertips. For more detailed information, see the PASCAL Delivers FAQs.

You can access the Library's electronic resources from anywhere!
