You'll then be taken to your EKU Libraries Account portal where you will complete and submit the request for books not currently owned by EKU Libraries.

Most fields will auto-populate and you should only need to scroll to the bottom of the page to select/click on the "Submit Request" button located at the bottom left side of the request form.

 

EKU Libraries welcomes purchase suggestions from current EKU faculty, staff, and students. Requests for items we do not own will be reviewed. EKU Libraries will prioritize the purchase of books in eBook format that support the curricula. Patrons are encouraged to use their local public library for popular and fiction reading needs.
