RESOURCE ON DEMAND (ROD) is a document delivery service for UP and non-UP library users. The ROD service processes articles and book chapter requests from the journals, books, e-resources and other materials available only in UP Diliman Libraries. These documents are scanned and can be picked up in person or sent electronically via email.
Requests may be sent to the Information Services and Instruction Section (ISaIS) through email at libraryinfo.updiliman@up.edu.ph, or to the email address of the College/Unit Library as listed in our directory.
Prepare the specific information regarding the material being requested. This includes the title of the article/chapter, the journal/book where it appeared, place and date of publication, page numbers to be requested, and other pertinent details. The Reference Librarian will search TUKLAS discovery service, find the article or book chapter and deliver it via email or courier.
Requests from students from other schools, private and government researchers shall be made through their office’s or school’s Head Librarian.
