Can I request that journal articles be sent to me by email or as a PDF file?

Answer

The ILL Department cannot request any certain format for journal articles. Each lending library has its own policies on how they fulfill and deliver requests for journal articles. Most libraries will send journal articles as a PDF file via email or Article Exchange, however some libraries will only photocopy and send them by regular mail.

Publishers may also include copyright licensing restrictions on interlibrary loan use of their articles that require the articles be provided only as a printed copy.  In such a case, the ILL Department will notify you that a physical copy of your article is available to pick up from your designated library or resource center location.
