Q. How can online or distance education students and faculty get books and other physical library items sent to them?

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
• You can access SuperSearch on the Radford University Libraries' homepage 
  • 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?"

 For help requesting books contact the Front Desk (540) 831-5364 or frontdesk@radford.edu.
