Library of the Health Sciences-Chicago: Services and Assistive Technology

Retrieval and Photocopying of Library Materials

LHS-Chicago staff retrieve books and journals from the stacks and coordinate photocopying of materials for patrons with disabilities. Library staff will make every effort to retrieve items at the time they are requested; however, turnaround time may vary depending on the complexity and volume of a request.

Photocopying of materials is available for patrons with disabilities at no additional cost. A UIC Flames copy card loaded with sufficient money should be provided by the patron at the time of the request. Alternative arrangements may be made for requests involving large quantities of materials.

To make a material retrieval or photocopy request, please visit the circulation desk or contact library staff by email or phone.
