Hi, I am contacting you in case you are in need of a way to obtain journal articles quickly and easily. I have started a new document delivery/research service and would be happy to help you. Please see details below. Thank you!
Dear Medical and BioTech Professionals,
A number of you have expressed frustration with trying to obtain genetics articles quickly and at a reasonable price. For that reason, I have decided to open a medical genetics library/document delivery service, with the goal of providing fast access to articles at a lower price. I will also perform searches for information on genetics or other medical topics for those who are interested. I have worked in a medical library for several years and am familiar with the ins and outs of interlibrary loan, information searches, and basic library operation. In addition, I have training and experience in genetic counseling and am currently working in private practice part-time in Bellingham, Washington.
I will be operating the library using the National Library of Medicine's Docline system, which many of you may be familiar with. Anyone who is interested can sign up for Loansome Doc, and then order articles directly from PubMed or Internet Grateful Med. If you put Genetics Northwest Library down as your ordering library (LIBID is WAUHVB), your requests will come to this library initially. If I cannot fill them, I will send them on into the Docline system, where they will be filled by another library and mailed or faxed directly to you. If you are interested in using Loansome Doc, please contact me and I will help you get signed up (no charge to sign up). If you do not wish to use Loansome Doc, you may request articles via fax at (509)752-1453, e-mail at <Email Address Redacted> or telephone (360)734-3704. Turn-around time for copying and mailing/faxing will be less than 48 hours (usually 24 hours) if articles are available in-house.
Charges for articles:
$5 per article
$10 per article fax request (within 48 hours for in-house articles, usually within 24 hours)
$60 prepaid for 20 articles
$100 prepaid for 50 articles
$25 per hour for literature searches
Postage for foreign countries: $18 per pound
Available Journals:
Because I will be using Docline, ALL journals owned by United States libraries will be available to you for $5 each, not just the journals I will be keeping in-house. If you request articles out of an in-house journal, you will get faster service.
Thank you, I look forward to working with you!
