Borrowers: Need your request to be filled from a specific format?
Use DOCLINE's "Fill from Format"
At a time when many libraries are supplying ILL articles from electronic journals only and/or do not have access to their print collection, using DOCLINE’s "Fill from Format" feature may expedite requests.
Fill from Format can be selected in the Request Information panel (screenshot at bottom) of each request (set by default to Any format).
Choosing E-Journal format will maximize the chance that your request goes only to libraries with e-journal holdings from which to fill your request. Choosing Print reduces the pool of lenders to those who report owning the desired journal in print format.
REMINDER: libraries that do not have access to their collection, regardless of format, should enter Out of Office dates in their DOCLINE Library Profile or request that NLM or the National DOCLINE Coordination Office do so on your behalf.
See the "How does Routing Work" support article for more information.
