Loansome Doc Instructions
Employees at facilities of the Critical Access Hospital Network have access to free article requesting and delivery through Hardin’s interlibrary loan department.
To request many of the articles found on PubMed, for free, employees will now need to fill out the form on this page: 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.
