Q. Can I have library items shipped to me?

If you live outside of the Blacksburg campus area, which includes Montgomery, Pulaski, and Giles counties, you can request for delivery of library items to your designated library branch or your home address as an Extended Campus User. 

Extended Campus Users will need to request books through the Interlibrary Loan system (ILLiad), see: https://guides.lib.vt.edu/ill.

For item(s) found from the library's catalog / Discovery Search page, from the item page, log into your library account using the "Sign in" link, then select the "REQUEST: Extended Campus Users Request from Interlibrary Loan" link under "Get VText" when placing your hold.

Please update your address and delivery preference on your ILLiad account.  This will prevent material shipped to old addresses.

Faculty/Staff can choose to have items located in the library's catalog / Discovery Search page delivered to their offices via Faculty/Staff Campus Delivery. From the item page, log into your library account using the "Sign in" link, then select this option under "Pickup Location" when placing your hold.
