HKUST Library Services

Document Supply Service : Document Delivery

This service is offered to HKUST eligible users who need articles from the Library's print and microform collections. Eligible users include faculty, research and teaching staff, visiting scholars, academic equivalent staff and postgraduates.

Requesters can use the Photocopy Form in the HKUST ILLiad system to submit requests. A requested document will be scanned and posted to the user's ILLiad account, which can be retrieved by clicking the Electronically Received Articles link on the left of the screen. Requesters are notified by email when the document is ready for retrieval.

Document Delivery service is free of charge but there is a limit on the number of requests per school year. The quotas are 50 articles for faculty and staff, and 30 articles for postgraduates. Requested articles unavailable in the Library will be procured through interlibrary loan.

The Library will not accept a copying request if it violates the copyright law.
