The Walden Library provides Document Delivery Service (DDS) to help graduate students obtain supplementary research materials that are not held in Walden’s collections.

The DDS System is entirely online. Requests are submitted via our online form. Articles are also delivered electronically. If you submit a request that we are able to fill, you will receive an email message with a link that will allow you to download the PDF from our DDS server.

Please note:

• Delivery time for DDS items is 7 - 10 business days
• DDS is always free to you. However, there is a $50.00 price cap (cost to the Walden Library) on all DDS requests. We reserve the right to cancel any request that will result in more than $50 in fees to the DDS system.
• Requests submitted by students enrolled in Masters or undergraduate degree programs will be reviewed by library staff. Some Masters Student requests may be filled on a case-by-case basis.
• Our ability to fill your request may be limited by the availability of the requested document in our partner libraries.
• Providing incomplete information may invalidate your request. You will need to provide the title of the journal, the article title and author, the volume & issue number, year of publication and the inclusive page numbers for the article you want.
• The service does not lend hard copies of books, nor are we able send entire e-books due to copyright restrictions.
  
  We can only fill one chapter per request. If you would like more than three chapters copied out of a book, please contact our reference department first at 1-800-930-0914 for information about alternative methods about getting your materials.
