Sometimes you need just one chapter from a book and don't want or need to read or use the rest of the book. You can request a single -- just one -- chapter for a book using EKU Libraries' Library Express interlibrary loan service. 

 

On the EKU Libraries homepage, click on the My Account link located in the top navigation bar.

This will take you to your My Checkouts portal.  To manually create a new request for an article, book, or book chapter, click on the Requests tab, then click on the Create Request button.  Select Chapter/Article.

Complete all required fields, marked with an asterisk, on the form, as well as additional relevant information.  Pay particular attention to the Journal/Container Title, Chapter Title, and Page Number fields.  Once complete, click "Submit Request".  You will receive an email communication from Library Express when your request has been processed.

Tip! Copyright law only allows one chapter per book. If you need more than one chapter from a book, please go ahead and request the book rather than individual chapters. If you have any questions, please contact our Library Express team.
