*What is a Loansome Doc?
Loansome Doc is the fee-based document delivery service of the National Library of Medicine. Anyone may register to use Loansome Doc. When you sign up you will be asked to select an "Ordering Library". If you choose the Arizona Health Sciences as your ordering library AND have purchased an AHSL Community Card, you qualify for a reduced rate for each Loansome Doc request you submit.
