Retrieving library materials
- Library staff at campus libraries will retrieve books and journals from
the stacks for users with disabilities. We will make every effort to retrieve
items at the time they are requested. Turnaround time may vary depending
upon the volume and location of the materials. However, we can usually have
the materials available for pickup within the same or next working day.
- To request that materials be retrieved for you, please see staff in person
at the Circulation or Reference Desks, or contact
them by phone or e-mail.
Proxy borrowing
Arrangements can be made to have another person authorized to check out materials
in your name. Contact the Circulation Desk by phone or
e-mail to arrange for this service.
Library orientation and Research assistance
- An individualized library orientation can be arranged by contacting
the Reference Desk.
- Reference Desk staff are available to provide basic research assistance.
- If you need in-depth research assistance, we offer "Help by Appointment."
To schedule an individual appointment with a librarian, contact
the Reference Desk.
Sign language interpreter
One of our staff members at the Library of the Health Sciences-Chicago can
provide sign language interpretation Mondays through Fridays, from 9am-5pm.
Appointments should be scheduled in advance. Contact
the LHS Reference Desk. (Please note: The sign language interpreter is not
certified.)
Arrangements can also be made for the sign language interpreter to come to
the Daley Library. Contact the LHS Reference Desk.
Photocopying
Copies can be made by library staff at no additional cost (seven cents per
page for both standard and enlarged copies). A UIC Flames copy card loaded
with sufficient money should be provided at the time of the request. The UIC
Flames copy card can be purchased in the library or other campus locations
for an initial cost of $1.00.
Turnaround time for copying may vary depending upon the volume of a request.
