Robert Bell Parrish Medical Library
Services - Interlibrary Loan

Driscoll staff, students, and clinicians may request any journal article or book. If it is not available online from the library homepage (www.dchstx.org/medlib) please email the librarian, or call (361) 694-4523. If you are not affiliated with Driscoll you may contact us or use Loansome Doc. Please provide citation information for quicker service. Interlibrary loan service is free.

• Journal articles available locally usually are delivered to you by email within hours. Articles that must be obtained from other libraries usually arrive in a day or two. Please call the library if you need immediate service for patient care. These are handled immediately; we attempt to deliver article(s) within minutes.
• Books borrowed from other libraries usually take 2 weeks to arrive. We route book loan requests to the Texas A&M University- Corpus Christi Bell Library. Call for assistance to borrow Medical Library books or get a loan (361) 694-5467.

To find books you might want to borrow, look at:

• Texas Medical Association Online Store
• Other library catalogs
• Amazon.com
• Barnes & Noble

The library uses the National Library of Medicine's DOCLINE system to request articles from other libraries.  We obtain our loans free; articles not available by these means are ordered from Information Link, a commercial document provider.
