Memorial University Libraries - Desktop Delivery (E-Mail Link)

Document Delivery Services units of Memorial University Libraries are pleased to announce the introduction of desktop delivery of all photocopied materials.

Photocopied materials (journal articles, book chapters, conference papers) will be delivered to the user in the form of an e-mail containing a link to the document in PDF format. The recipient will have the option of printing or saving the document to the desktop. Please note that the link to the article can only be used once. Users will have to contact their local Document Delivery unit to have the link sent a second time. In order to ensure e-mail link delivery, the user's library account should include a MUN.CA e-mail address.

Desktop delivery will be the default delivery method for all photocopy requests. Users may request an alternative delivery method by selecting the appropriate method from the delivery method drop-down list on the web form.

The default delivery method on both Copy and Loan forms will be "E-Mail Link;" however, users placing a loan request will still be notified to pick up the loaned item when it arrives at their home library.

Users will note a new copyright compliance statement at the bottom of the document delivery web form: "I hereby certify that this item is being sought for the purpose of private study or research and that I will not create a copy for any third party." Users must tick the consent box next to the copyright statement before the request can be submitted.

Users may now login in to the Document Delivery Request Form with either their 14-digit barcode number + PIN or their Alt. ID + PIN.
