New Member Benefit: "Get it for Me" Document Retrieval Service

November 20, 2013 — AASV Staff

During its October meeting, the AASV Board of Directors approved an exciting new practitioner benefit. An agreement with the Texas A&M University Medical Sciences Library (MSL) allows AASV members to utilize the MSL’s Get it for me document retrieval service.

Using the service, AASV members may request literature searches, and the MSL staff will conduct the search using databases appropriate to the topic and available to the library. Search results will be delivered within 2 business days, free of charge. Additionally, members may request copies of journal articles and book chapters available within the library’s extensive collection. Requested items will be provided free of charge within 2 business days.

The Get it for me service is available to all AASV members except students and those with academic appointments, since they already have access to university library resources. Members must register in order to access the service. To register, follow the step-by-step instructions available at http://guides.library.tamu.edu/aasv.
