Digital Loan
Students and faculty outside the St. Louis area can request books from the Library’s print collection and get online access to a digital copy for a fixed check-out period. If you just need a single article, chapter, essay, or section from a print resource, please use the Interlibrary Loan / Scan Request form instead.
Requesting Books
Search the Covenant catalog for available items.
Click the “Request” button.
Sign in with your name and Covenant library/ID card number.
Choose “Covenant Seminary Digital Loan” as the pickup location.
Verify that your request was successful.
When your Digital Loan is ready, you will receive an email notification with a link to access the item on Microsoft OneDrive, and a note of when your access will end.
