Welch Document Services Alert -- Welch Medical Library patrons should always begin their search for articles online. The department will not make copies of journal articles that are readily available online.

Welch has made more than 3,000 journal titles available to users electronically. The Document Services Copy Service is limited to print materials that the Welch Library and its satellites own. Staff will process up to five requests per day for print articles. Users should also not make Weldoc requests for materials that they can easily access themselves from the Welch E Journal collection. Searching the collection from the user's own desktop will result in faster access to needed articles.

For questions about using Welch E Journals, call the reference desk at 410-955-3410 for assistance.
