To search for a known title book, start by entering the title keywords into the search box in the center of EKU Libraries' homepage.

Library homepage with title "The Glass Castle" typed into search box

You will then be prompted to log in through the EKU Microsoft Azure single-sign on.

EKU Microsoft Azure examples:

Student (john_doe21@mymail.eku.edu)
Faculty/Staff (john.doe@eku.edu )

Your password is the same across all Azure logins.

If EKU Libraries has the book, it will usually appear at the top of your search results.

You'll notice a listed location, Call Number, and Status for books available at EKU Libraries.

Tip!

If your search for a specific book fails to find the book or finds only book reviews of the book, then EKU Libraries does not currently have the book. Remember, the library search is searching content currently in the collection.

To search for and request books not in the current collection, try searching WorldCat or the library's WorldCat Discovery search.

You will then use the Request It link to check out the book using your Library Express account. Please view the attached videos on checking out books during COVID-19.
