The library offers the Online Search Service on an equal access basis to students, faculty, and staff in the UW-RF community. The purpose of this service is to provide access to fee-based library resources not available on the Library's Web Page. One example is Food Science and Technology Abstracts, a database that is searched through the DIALOG Information Service. The Online Search Service may also be a way to obtain bibliographic information on older materials, as many online back files begin in the mid-1970's or later.

To use the Online Search Service, pick up a request form at the Reference Desk or go to the Library's Web Page and fill it out as completely as possible. It is crucial that you have spelled terms correctly. If you have questions about how to complete the form please ask for assistance at the Reference Desk or send an email to Ask a Librarian. A reference librarian may need to contact you about the search. Most online searches are completed within two working days. The results of an online search consist of printed bibliographic citations, which may be sent via campus mail, picked up in the library or sent by email.

Most users are not charged for their online search, but there are several instances when charges will be incurred such as; abstract prints, full text prints and comprehensive searches. The cost of an online search is based on the combination of the connect rate and a print citation royalty. Charges vary depending on the database.

Not all citations retrieved in an online search will be available in the Chalmer Davee Library, but the Interlibrary Loan Service may be used to obtain such publications. The Interlibrary Loan Service and the Online Search Service are available only to students, staff and faculty of the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.
