Interlibrary Loan is open to all EKU faculty, staff, and students. The purpose is to obtain materials which are not available in the Libraries collections for the educational, research, and general needs of the University community. The service is free for all eligible users.

ILLiad, EKU Libraries' Interlibrary Loan system, enables you to place, track, and keep a history of interlibrary loan requests from a personal online account. All transactions, including renewals, are done online.

• Electronic resources, book chapters and articles will be delivered regardless of location via electronic means. Most items can be obtained within two weeks. Some arrive more quickly while some can take much longer to receive.


• Online students outside the EKU service region should select "Outside Service Region" as the pickup location when setting up their ILL account.


• Books may be delivered via courier to Regional campuses for pickup. Online students who are local to an EKU regional campus or center may have ILL items couriered to their respective centers. Most items can be obtained within two weeks. Some arrive more quickly while some can take much longer to receive.


• Online students located outside the EKU service area should use their local public library to place book requests, as EKU libraries cannot deliver books owned by other institutions.

To use ILLiad you will need to register to set up an account. Click on the Logon to ILLiad link here or above to get started. Interlibrary Loan Services are available for research purposes to all EKU students, faculty, and staff. Read more about Interlibrary Loan.
