Photocopy Services

Biology Library

The Biology Library has a fee-based photocopy service for providing photocopies of articles from materials owned by the Biology Library. This service is available to UIUC and UIC-Urbana Campus patrons who have access to an University of Illinois departmental or grant account.  We cannot charge an individual directly. The charge for the service is $0.18 per page. The articles will be mailed to your campus address.  Only written or e-mailed requests are accepted. The online form should be used for requests. This form may be sent to the Biology Library through campus mail, or through email to: biolib@uiuc.edu. We try to respond to requests within 48 hours (Mon - Fri) of receiving them.

If you have a departmental or grant account, you may also use one of our auditron photocopy machines, located at the north end of the reading room, to photocopy items yourself.  The charge for the service is $0.09 per page.  Ask at the Circulation Desk for instructions on using these machines or to request a departmental copy card.  For departments wishing to request there own auditron photocopy cards, see instructions for requesting photocopy cards with departmental accounts.

The UIUC DocExpress service is a campus Library fee-based service for photocopying materials for University faculty, students, and staff for materials held at the UIUC campus libraries.  Fees are $3.00 per article for faculty members, or $5.00 per article for students and staff, which can be paid for through authorized departmental accounts, or VISA ® or Master Card ® credit cards.

To get started go to the Library IRRC Interlibrary Loan page and click on the  UIUC DocExpress link under For UIUC Faculty, Students, and Staff  http://www.library.uiuc.edu/irrc/ .  You will be asked to login with your NetID and password  Before making a request, an account for payment will  have to be created.  The form will automatically display, if you do not have an account.  Once the account is created, you may make the request by following the instructions provided.

A RUSH Service is also available for items at a charge of $15.00 per citation.  This fee may be paid by VISA ®, Master Card ®, a personal check, or departmental account.  RUSH material arrives within 72 hours unless there is difficulty in obtaining the item.  If the borrowing office is unable to fill you request within the allotted time, you will not be charged the RUSH fee and every effort is made to continue to obtain the item.  For any questions, please call or email Cherie L.
