How long will articles remain on the Document Delivery (ILL) website?
I am a Georgetown University Medical Center/MedStar Georgetown University Hospital affiliate and need access to Dahlgren Memorial Library's electronic resources, what should I do?
If you do not know your Georgetown University NetID, the University Information Services Desk staff can help you determine if you have a NetID and also provide password assistance. If you do not have a Georgetown NetID please contact the administrator for your department. Dahlgren Memorial Library does not issue Georgetown NetID credentials.
How do I locate journals owned by the library?
Go to the DML website. Under Quick Resources, click on Journal Finder and search by journal title. This is where you can find journals owned electronically by Dahlgren Memorial Library.
Where can I get stamps?
Postage stamps, mailing materials, labels, envelopes, and boxes may be purchased from the book store in the Leavey Center or the nearest USPS located at 1215 31st Street, NW, Washington, DC 20007-3423.
I am a Georgetown Main or Law Center affiliate, may I use the Dahlgren Memorial Library online resources?
All Georgetown affiliates may use the online resources provided by DML. On/off campus access is available to current members of
the Georgetown University Medical Center community. All other current GU affiliates are welcome to access using the computers found in the DML lobby or check the Georgetown Law Library or Main Campus Library (Lauinger Library) to see if remote access to the resource is provided via those web sites.

How much for copying/printing?
Dahlgren has black/white and color printers connected to the computers in the lobby and in the BACC (on the Lower Level). GoCard is required. Prices for printing are located on the printers.
Non-GOCard holders can get a printing/copying card at the GOCard deposit machine in the Leavey Center.

I am a Georgetown University affiliate and I have lost my Georgetown University GOCard, can I still enter the library?
Georgetown University affiliates must present a current government issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, and an Information Services Desk staff member will register you in the Georgetown University patron log. You must have your Georgetown University GOCard when the Information Services Desk is closed. If you do not have any form of ID then you cannot enter the library.
