Electronic Document Delivery

Electronic copies of journal articles and book chapters from any of Pitts Theology Library's print collections can be requested by current Emory University students, faculty, and staff at no charge. This service does not apply to resources available full-text online.

This service is designed for the delivery of SINGLE copies of items, and is not a photocopy service. 

While we are working hard to support our patrons, at times the demand on our services will be greater than our capacity. Therefore, when submitting scan requests, we ask you to have patience. We will do our best to get back to you as soon as possible. Although it is usually quite low, please expect a general turnaround time of three business days. This time may be longer for items that must be delivered from the LSC.

Document Delivery Service is available when the following requirements are met:

• Requestor is current student, faculty, or staff member of Emory University
• Requested items must be for private study and individual research only
• Journal or book is not available online
• Material requested is on the shelf in the library (not circulating or missing)
• Scanning is limited to one article per issue of a journal or one chapter per book not to exceed 50 pages total
• All requests must comply with current United States Copyright Law and be justifiable under Fair Use

Articles and book chapters can be delivered directly to an Emory email address or sent to the user's ILLiad account.
