Document Delivery
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 photocopies
the material as appropriate, and delivers the material to your department.
If an electronic version of an article you requested is available, BAKER
will either send you the downloaded article by e-mail, or refer you to
a website where the article can be viewed and printed. If necessary, BAKER
will place holds, searches and 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.
Eligibility
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.

Your Responsibility
BAKER is your proxy borrower and checks out requested materials directly

library's circulation office. In accordance with Library circulation policy,
you are responsible for the safe handling and return of materials and for
any fines or replacement bills.
