Self Service Electronic Document Delivery:
Items that are needed quickly may be ordered directly from commercial document providers by library users who are willing to pay a fee. INGENTA will provide copies of journal articles by mail, e-mail and FAX.  Documents can be paid for with a credit card or users can set up a deposit account (minimum of $200 each) with INGENTA. Faculty members have a subsidized account they can order through Ingenta.  Faculty information for this service can be found at: http://www.library.uni.edu/instruction/guides/docdelivery.shtml

Dissertations:
Some libraries will allow dissertations to circulate via Interlibrary Loan.  The interlibrary loan staff can usually determine the policy of the institution at which the dissertation is held and the costs involved in obtaining it.  Titles published from 1997 not available for loan are often for sale from PROQUEST Digital Dissertations. Prices vary for each dissertation. For more information go to http://0-wwwlib.umi.com.unistar.uni.edu/dissertations/gateway.
