Distance Learning

Library materials, such as books and videos, can be delivered to a Kirkwood center upon request. Please contact individual centers for delivery date and time. Articles can be requested through our Library Search (a.k.a. WorldCat) and are delivered via student or faculty/staff email.

Kirkwood students and employees at any location can use the "Place Hold" function in our library search.

This function will do two things:

1. If the book is checked out to another user, the "Place Hold" will have the library save the book for you when it is returned. 

2. If the book is not checked out, the "Place Hold" will have the library pull it from the shelf and send it through campus mail to the campus or center you request.

Follow the directions below to place a hold on a library item.
