Interior Library Services
Reference Services
Librarians are available to assist DOI employees with general and legal research. Contact the Reference Desk with questions or requests via telephone, mail, fax, or send e-mail. Field personnel are welcome to submit research requests or call with their research queries.
Use a research request form (available in pdf
format
) or use your own format, but be sure to include the necessary
information as shown on the form.
DOI employees may also contact a reference librarian to request searches of Westlaw and LEXIS-NEXIS databases.
Access to databases and the Internet
Several on-site computers with Internet connections are available to patrons. These computers may be used to access the World Wide Web and a variety of fee-based online databases. Patrons may also use CD-ROMs that are included in the Library's collections. On-site access is provided to CD-ROMs on a wide range of topics including geology, geography, mining, wildlife and oil and gas.
Access to the full texts of journal articles are provided on-site through the Academic OneFile database, HeinOnline, the JSTOR Collections, the Science and Technology Collection, EBSCO Online, and ScienceDirect Web Editions. OneFile and EBSCO Online also provide indexing for many more journal titles than are available as full text.
For more information, and to find full text electronic journals by title, see Electronic Resources.
DOI employees may contact a reference librarian to request searches of Westlaw and LEXIS-NEXIS databases.
Interlibrary Loan
The Library provides an Interlibrary Loan service to DOI headquarters employees to obtain materials unavailable in our collections. DOI field employees and Federal libraries may also use the service to obtain materials from our collections. Procedures and request forms are available at Interlibrary Loan Service.
Photocopying
The Library provides photocopiers and microfilm and microfiche reader-printers. No fees are collected for copies made on the premises. The general public is asked to contribute paper to replace copies made and should consult a reference librarian before making copies. Copyright restrictions apply to all photocopies.
