Loansome Doc Ordering Service

Loansome Doc (LD) is the electronic document ordering option available when searching the MEDLINE database via PubMed. Documents can be sent via e-mail (if available), mail, or fax.

Loansome Doc services are available to any health care professional in Arkansas. The library that provides your document delivery service depends upon the Arkansas county in which you reside. The UAMS Library provides document delivery service to those residing in Cleburne, Faulkner, Garland, Hot Spring, Perry, Pulaski, Saline, Van Buren or White County.

If you reside in another county, your primary access for document delivery will be one of the AHEC libraries.

Members of the Arkansas Department of Health and preceptors for the College of Pharmacy (COPP) may utilize Loansome Doc services through the UAMS Library and charge fees to a special ADH or COPP account, respectively.
