Typically you can request a chapter from a book as long as it doesn't represent a significant portion of the entire book - most ILL departments use the 10% rule.
It is often better to request a loan of the full book especially in the case of anthologies, theatrical plays or musical scores.
We cannot request a photocopy of an entire issue of a journal but in some cases, (especially when the issue is more than 5 years old,) it is possible to request a loan of the journal issue instead. Please contact the ILL department if you need help with a full journal issue.
