In 1996, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and the University of Connecticut Health Center (UCHC) EFTS staff worked together to create the Electronic Fund Transfer System (EFTS). EFTS virtually eliminates the need to create invoices and write checks for re-imbursement for interlibrary loans and document delivery between members. Among the advantages are monthly detailed transaction based reports, the ability to handle variable charges and the ability to handle non-DOCLINE transactions.

Disclaimer: EFTS serves ONLY as DOCLINE’s billing agent. Any DOCLINE activity outside of billing is not handled by EFTS, but rather via the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM) or Docline directly 1-888-FIND-NLM (1-888-346-3656).
