Requesting Articles AND BOOKS

If you are an NC State student, staff member, or faculty member, please request books, articles, and other items through Tripsaver.

The Veterinary Medicine Library will provide articles or single chapters of books from its collection to NCSU College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) alumni and individual veterinarians or licensed veterinary technicians not affiliated with NCSU for a fee. Veterinarians and veterinary technicians who are not CVM alumni or AVMA members will need to provide proof of licensure. The fee schedule is as follows.

Article or Single Book Chapter Copy Request for Electronic Delivery
Veterinarians or Veterinary Technicians $8.00 per article/chapter up to 15 pages

Additional charges may apply for articles:

  • An additional 25 cents per page over 15 pages
  • Faxing: $3.00 charge per article
  • Rush Delivery: $3.00 charge per article (articles requested by 2:00 PM, will be delivered by 6:00 PM the same day)
  • US First Class Mail: $3.00 charge per day's order
  • For any other delivery methods, please contact us.

Please review Copyright Restrictions before making your request. To request an article or book chapter through this service, register for the service online or contact the Veterinary Medicine Library with your citations, delivery and billing information using the Ask Us online form or call 919-513-6218. Your request will be acknowledged and you will be authorized to use the online system to request your materials. Most requests are processed within 2 business days. Email notification that the item is available for download/web delivery through our online system is our standard electronic delivery method.

Invoices are generated and mailed monthly. They can be paid with a check. Please return a copy of the invoice with your payment.

Registered users may check the status of requests by logging into the NCSU Libraries Delivery Service for Veterinarians and Veterinary Technicians website.

Non-Veterinarian Requests
