1. As a subscriber, can I send an article via Interlibrary Loan?
Emerald allows subscribers to provide a copy of an article/chapter to a library that doesn't have access to the work in question via Interlibrary Loan. The content should be sent via a secure electronic transmission system, such as Ariel.
If the receiving library wishes to make further use of that article (aside from giving it to the requester to read), please see our guidance here: https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/services/permissions-rights-licensing
Emerald also participates in the following ‘Express InterLibrary Loan Schemes:
