Faculty Week: Material delivery options


Aug. 23, 2012 – Faculty have several options to have library materials delivered (not to mention the enormous amount of materials available online in your office, classroom, home, or travelling).

Desktop Delivery

Faculty (and staff and students) on the Blacksburg campus may request scanned copies of journal articles, book chapters, and papers from conference proceedings from print materials located at Newman, Art + Architecture, and the Vet Med libraries. The scanned files will be delivered in PDF format to your ILLiad account under the Electronic Delivery section, where you will be able to download and/or print the file. There is no charge for this service courtesy of the Access Services Department

Newman Book Runner

Faculty can use the green request button found next to select available items, and we will go into the stacks for you, find the book you’re looking for and deliver it to your department on campus. You have to be part of a department that has opted-in to this service before we can deliver to your campus location.

Request It

If you are not a member of a participating department, you can still use the request button to have Newman Library materials pulled and held for you at the Circulation desk. Items are retrieved three times a day during the week and twice each weekend day.

Courier Service

The library can deliver materials from one library branch (or our remote storage facility) to another. Use our Courier Service forms, or login to My Library Account prior to searching Addison to get a link to the form that fills in the bibliographic fields (author, title, call number) for you.
