Interlibrary Loan
Book chapters and journal articles not available in our library can be obtained from other library collections or commercial vendors upon request. These photocopies are delivered electronically to the patron’s desktop. Researchers can send electronic interlibrary loan requests using the form located on the library’s internal web page.

Current Research
The library’s Alert service can deliver directly to a researcher’s computer or mailbox a customized monthly listing of bibliographic information.

Full-text Journals
St. Jude scientists can browse more than 2000 different full-text journal titles from their own offices.

Literature Searches
Trained library staff members are available to assist St. Jude researchers with customized literature searches. The library’s Web page also supports the hospital’s research by providing links to PubMed and several other databases.

Reprint Collection
The library’s collection of St. Jude reprints reflects the hospital’s research efforts. Beginning with one volume that covers several years, the reprint collection now includes multiple volumes each year. It’s an interesting way to visualize the hospital’s history.
