Article Delivery Service (ADS) is available to faculty, staff, and students at the University of Iowa, excluding the College of Law.  Articles or chapters from nonelectronic journals, newspapers, or books held in any University of Iowa Library (with the exception of the Law Library and Curriculum Lab) can be scanned, delivered electronically, and available for viewing for 14 days. If an article is available through a subscribed ejournal, the link to the article will be provided. Fair use and copyright laws will be applied to each request. Microform material over 20 pages in length may require additional time for electronic delivery or will be held in Media Services for checkout or use. Articles or book chapters over 50 pages in length may require additional time for electronic delivery or may be processed as book delivery requests and held for pickup at one of the University Libraries (see section below on Book Delivery).
