NLM SERVICE
ZB MED can order copies of articles from the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) in Bethesda, MD, USA. This service is only available to German libraries, however.
If you would like to take advantage of this service, please send an e-mail to fernleihe@zbmed.de with the following content:
- Subject: NLM service
- Bibliographic details
- Confirmation that you agree to pay the fees which are currently 2 IFLA VOUCHERS or € 16 on receipt of invoice.
Oders that include an article together with supplementary material are handled in the same way as multiple orders, i.e. each item is treated as a seperate order. In these cases charges apply for each individual order.
Before we place the order with the NLM, we will check that the item is not available in our stock.
When the items are delivered, we will check they are complete and of acceptable quality and then send them within a few days by post to the library that placed the order.
No charge will be made for documents that we are unable to acquire. We will inform you by email if this is the case.
