PubMed users will be familiar with recent enhancements made to the search interface that enable Scott Library's print and electronic holdings to appear in search results. We’re proud to offer yet another enhancement for PubMed searchers--Loansome Doc, which allows users to order articles directly from a PubMed search. Any Jefferson student or employee is eligible to participate. Participation requires a simple two-step registration process with Scott Library and the National Library of Medicine.
Automated Requests: How It Works
While reviewing citations from your PubMed search, tag the article(s) you wish to order. Use the handy PubMed Send To Order button to automatically forward your request to Scott Library (see our user's guide, below). If the item(s) requested is in our collection, we will copy the article and notify you via email within 24 hours of the time we receive your request (Monday through Friday). Articles not owned by the library will be submitted to our interlibrary loan network and filled typically within 3-5 business days. There’s no need to fill out any individual forms or determine whether or not the library owns the material.
Two-Step Registration
- Complete our online registration form, indicating your preferred method of payment, delivery method, and TJU affiliation. Choose one payment method to use with all your Loansome Doc orders. To pay with a different method, either enter a new registration with Scott Library, or use the standard ILL or JEFFDocs order forms.
We will review your application and notify you by email with confirmation and a password for completing the second step of the registration process. You should receive your confirmation within 24 hours of your request (Monday through Friday).
- After you receive your confirmation and password from Scott Library, create your personal account with the National Library of Medicine. You will select your own login and password for signing in to the Loansome Doc system. Note that you may have Loansome Doc accounts with more than one library or provider.
