Q. How do I use DocuServe to get things that are not in the Caltech Library collection?

DocuServe is Caltech Library's interlibrary loan and document delivery service available to Caltech faculty, students, and staff. DocuServe can acquire materials that the Caltech Library does not have in its own collections. DocuServe can borrow physical items (such as books) from other libraries for a limited amount of time, as well as provide electronic copies of book chapters and journal articles. The DocuServe office is located in Room 124 in the Sherman Fairchild Library (SFL). You can reach them by phone at 626-395-6437 or by email at docuserve@library.caltech.edu.
