SCRLC supports resource sharing for all our members. For the HLSP members, DOCLINE is a key resource to access documents from journals that are not included in the member's electronic resource collection.
HLSP members can also participate in general resource sharing meetings that explore and provide training on topics such as new technology, services and products, best practices, and policies.
The Bibliographic and Referral Service (BARC), is a free or low-cost last-resort interlibrary loan service and HLSP members are welcome to use BARC when they are not able to access material through DOCLINE. BARC also offers free Union List of Serials maintenance.
Resource sharing subsidies are also available to HLSP members (the same way as all other members), as funds permit.
Our Medical Information Services Program (MISP) subsidizes the cost of health-related ILL and funding EFTS accounts is one way we utilize these funds to the benefit of our HLSP members.
DOCLINE is the interlibrary loan (ILL) request routing system owned by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) that serves the wider biomedical library community.
The system is intended for reciprocal ILL among biomedical libraries in the United States and Canada. It supports resource sharing among participating libraries by enabling them to borrow from and lend to one another; it is not an article purchasing mechanism.
There are two levels of participation; full participation for libraries in the US or Canada, with a health science or biomedical collection and mission of at least 10 journals and NLM only participants for libraries that cannot lend or are located outside the US and Canada. Individuals who are not associated with a library and commercial vendors are not eligible for DOCLINE membership.
