Library cards
Your membership package entitles you to an unlimited amount of Delaware Academy of Medicine membership cards. The library cards should be distributed to all members of your organization that will be responsible for ordering articles and library materials. If a library card holder leaves your organization it is your responsibility to notify the Delaware Academy of Medicine immediately.
Materials Lending – Policy
Materials from offsite libraries are for four weeks unless otherwise specified by the original lending library. Renewals of offsite materials are at the discretion of the original lending library.
Overdue materials are fined at the rate of $1 per day.
After four weeks the Academy of Medicine reserves the right to cancel borrowing privileges until outstanding loans and fines are settled.
Materials outstanding after eight weeks will be presumed lost. Lost materials or items returned damaged will incur the cost of replacement and a processing fee plus any applicable fines.
Literature searches
The Delaware Academy of Medicine employs the best medical librarians in the area. If you have a topic of interest but don't have specific citations let our librarians do the searching for you. They will provide you with a comprehensive list of results using medical specific databases such as Ovid, Ebsco, Pubmed, and Medline, among others. This, again, is a free service for any membership level; however non members will pay $50 per hour. For more information on what services our medical librarians have available, please email member@delamed.org.
Privacy Policy
The Delaware Academy of Medicine is committed to protecting the privacy of our members. We will not sell, rent, trade, or permit any third party to use any information that specifically identifies you, without your expressed written permission. We may however have to release personal information as required by law, for example; to comply with a court order or subpoena. Additionally, the Delaware Academy of Medicine will never make known any personal information (name, address, phone number) about you except to complete a request or transaction you have requested. This library makes every effort to guard your privacy in use of library materials and computers. However, due to the terms of the USA Patriot Act (Public law 107-56), federal officials may require the library to provide information about your use of library resources without informing you that we have done so.
Terms of Service
The Delaware Academy of Medicine reserves the right to lend materials to members and consumers on a case by case basis. Materials loaned or are accessed electronically are to be used within the terms outlined in sections 107 through 118 of the federal (United States of America) copyright act (title 17, U.S. Code) and international (laws of nations other than the U.S.A.) copyright laws. Materials copied, loaned (directly or through inter-library loan) or access electronically may be subject to copyright fees. The Delaware Academy of Medicine encourages its members to abide by all copyright laws. Any violation of these laws that are brought to our attention may result in suspension of membership.
