Request It! Services

On-Campus Access

Default

All books from another library are placed on the hold shelf at circulation by default. If you selected office delivery or deliver to home, we will deliver accordingly.

Pull to Hold

If we own the item and you're selecting 'Pick up at the Circulation Desk' (known as our "pull to hold" service), please allow 1-2 business days for processing. We do not abide time limits set by users. Requests are processed in the order in which they are received.

Eligibility

This service is open to all faculty/staff/students.

Office Delivery

Requests for the delivery service may be made at any time through the Library catalog; however, the actual delivery service is available from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, during the Library's regular open hours. For example, a delivery request placed before 9 a.m. on a weekday will be processed and delivered to the person's departmental office the same day. The service is not available when campus offices are closed. Please allow 1-2 business days.

Eligibility

Faculty and staff who work on the main campus of Morehead State University can place a Campus Delivery Service request through the Library's online catalog for delivery of circulating items held by the Library. Student workers will deliver items to department or unit offices. Items may also be pulled and held at the Circulation Desk. If after 7 days the item is not picked up, the item will be returned to the collection.

Off-Campus Delivery

Overview

The Library will mail library material to off-campus patrons' homes and email any electronic scans requested through the Request It Service system, called ILLiad.  Patrons are responsible for returning library items to the Morehead campus and are responsible for any costs associated with returning the items.  The Library does not pay return shipping.  Students at MSU at Ashland and MSU at Prestonsburg may return items to the local KCTCS Library.

Who Qualifies?

Free home delivery of library material is available to all off-campus students, off-campus faculty, and off-campus staff who do not live in Morehead, Kentucky.

Any student not taking a class at the Morehead campus is eligible for off-campus home delivery of library items. Any faculty or staff member working primarily at Regional Campuses also qualify. To qualify for delivery, your account must be in good standing and not have a hold placed on your account. We do not deliver to Morehead, Kentucky addresses.
