Staff of the Hospitals and Clinics in the University of Iowa's (UI) Critical Access Hospital Network cannot access the UI Library's electronic resources (unless they have a Hawk ID and password), but do have access to free article requesting and delivery through Hardin’s interlibrary loan department. In the past, the Loansome Doc feature on PubMed was used for this. Unfortunately, Loansome Doc is being retired in June and individuals will have to use a different method to attain these articles.
To request articles found on PubMed, for free, employees will now need to fill out the form on this page: http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/hardin/jrnloc/. Note that this page originally was intended for people without any affiliation to UI and that it mentions charges/costs - these costs do not apply Critical Access Hospital Network employees. To make sure your affiliation is clear, type something similar to “I am an employee of _____, a critical access facility” into the Comment/Suggestions box on the form. This continues to be a free service.
PubMed & Loansome Doc tab for instructions on how to use this.
Please note that to qualify for a Hawk ID and password you must be a student, staff, faculty, or retiree at the University of Iowa.
If you have any questions regarding Hawk IDs and passwords, please contact the UI Information Technology Services at https://its.uiowa.edu/contact
