If you are a Radford University or RUC employee, and you would like to designate a specific person – such as a student worker -- to check out materials on your behalf at either University Libraries location, simply email frontdesk@radford.edu from your Radford University/RUC email account, and give us the following information:

  • A statement saying that proxy checkout permission is granted
  • Full name of proxy, and Radford University ID number of proxy (if applicable)
  • Length of permission (just today, all semester, or permanent)

After we receive this authorization, we will enter information into your library account that will allow your proxy to check out all University Libraries materials on your behalf, at either University Libraries location. You will be held responsible for damage or loss of all items that are checked out to you, regardless of whether the checkout was made by your proxy. 

We will require your proxy to present their own valid identification card in order to check out materials on your behalf.

Please note that Interlibrary Loan proxy checkout permissions are handled separately through the "Authorized Users" section of ILLiad. Giving someone proxy permission to check out University Libraries materials will not allow them to check out your ILL materials.
