Any student or faculty member who Radford University has classified as an online/distance education student or faculty member can request circulating (non-Ready Reference or Special Collection) items such as books from McConnell Library sent directly to their home address at no charge.  To do this:

  • Use SuperSearch to request the item

    • Use the SuperSearch search box.
  • Select the title of the item that you want to request to open the record.
  • Select the "Place Hold" button.
  • Change "Pick Up Options" to "Mail (distance ed only)."
  • You will receive an prepaid postage label to return the item when you receive the item. Please re-use the envelope the item came in to return the item to us.
  • If you have moved recently, please contact us to be sure we have your current address.
    • Add your address in the box "Need a specific copy or volume? Anything else we need to know about this request?"
