Most interlibrary loan requests can be handled by users through the University of Toronto’s online interlibrary loan system—RACER. If you need assistance using this system, please don’t hesitate to ask the Dentistry Library staff. You can also look at this brief video demo of how to use RACER provided by the Gerstein Science Information Centre (Approximately 3 minutes). Please visit the UTL interlibrary loans page for more information and policies.

1) Articles NOT held by any U of T library

• Faculty, staff and graduate students at Dentistry - The Dentistry Library will order articles held at another library for you (such as another University, a hospital library, CISTI, etc.). Please come to the Service Desk to fill out an interlibrary loan form and note that while some interlibrary loans are free, quite often there is a charge of $5 to $15 per article. It can take from a few days to a few weeks to obtain materials. If you need more information about expected delivery times and charges for particular items, please inquire with our interlibrary loan staff.
• All other U of T members – Please use U of T’s interlibrary loan system RACER
  

Materials held at another U of T library should be picked up in person. These are some exceptions:

• Articles from the Gerstein Science Information Centre

While searching the Ovid database, U of T card holders can order photocopies of journal articles in their results that are not available in full-text. Simply click the "ORDER" button in the bottom right-hand corner of your search results page. Photocopied articles ordered this way can be sent to your office by Gerstein staff, via campus mail or fax. If you need help using this service, please ask Dentistry Library staff for assistance. For fees please ask at the desk.

• Materials from UTSC and UTM

You can order items held by the UTSC Library (Scarborough campus) or the UTM Library (Mississauga campus), but only if the items in question are not owned by a library on the St. George campus. To order such materials, click "Request item" after finding the item in the online catalogue. Please note that you can only pick them up at Robarts Library or the Gerstein Science Information Centre (it is not possible to have the item sent to the Dentistry Library).
