Baker Service welcomes Lawrence Berkeley National Labratory (LBNL) to its service. Special Instructions for LBNL Patrons |
Baker is a fee based Document Delivery Service for UCB faculty, staff, graduate students, and UCOP staff with current UCB library cards. To use Baker you must have a Baker account (see below).
Baker verifies your citation, locates the material in the Berkeley collection, checks out or scans the material as appropriate, and delivers the material to your department. If an electronic version of an article you requested is available, Baker will refer you to a web site where the article can be viewed and printed. If necessary, Baker will place holds, searches, and NRLF (storage) requests on your behalf. If the material is not in the Berkeley collection (and if you have pre-authorized Baker to do so), Baker will automatically forward your request to the Interlibrary Borrowing Service.
Baker is a fee based document delivery service available to UC Berkeley faculty, graduate students, staff, and UC Office of the President staff with current library cards.
Baker is your proxy borrower with a tradition of more than 25 years of service.
Baker allows you to request materials in the UC Berkeley library collection from your home or office using, OskiCat, Melvyl, email, fax, or campus or US mail.
You may have articles delivered electronically to your desktop computer using the World Wide Web.
Choose to have your Baker request automatically forwarded to Interlibrary Services - Borrowing Service if the item you request is not found in the Berkeley libraries.
Baker is your proxy borrower and checks out requested materials directly to you. Once the material is checked out to you, it is your responsibility and Baker is no longer involved. Return books by the due date to the lending library. Overdue and recall notices will be sent to you directly. In accordance with Library circulation policy, you are responsible for the safe handling and return of materials and for any fines or replacement bills.
$5.50 per item requested (via OskiCat and CDL Request)
$6.60 per item requested (via email, fax, mail, and drop-off)
$0.15 per page of scanning (additional charge)
$0.40 per page of copying from microform to paper
Baker fees are subject to change. Please note that fees cover staff costs for the work done on your requests, whether or not the material is actually available for your use.
