As of today, almost all (see note below*) Interlibrary Loan articles and book chapters requested via our online request forms (http://neter.lib.ucalgary.ca/DDS/jsp/dds.jsp) will be sent via "post-to-web."
What does this mean?
You will get an email with a link in it. Click on the link, et voila! A pdf appears and you can print your article.
For more information:
http://library.ucalgary.ca/services/interlibraryloan/posttoweb.php
This is brand-new, so let us know if you encounter anything weird, or if you have any comments.
*Lastly, if you request an article/book chapter that is only available to us in print (e.g. for some reason the lending library can't email a copy to us), you'll still need to pick up the documents in the Library.

Okay, regarding encountering anything weird: It seems that if you haven't used our online request forms ever before, you are going to have problems...new users get stuck in an endless loop.
SO....
New users need to contact Document Delivery Services before they can use the web request form:
For MacKimmie or Law Libraries: phone 220-5967 or email illomack@ucalgary.ca
For the Health Sciences Library: phone 220-7419 or email meddoc@ucalgary.ca
Users who have made at least one request before March 10 should have no problem using the web request form.
