Post and scan services for print materials

Postal delivery and returns

We are happy to post print items from our collection to all registered part-time and online students, full-time students on a placement, and academic staff primarily based off campus. We will not post items to you if you live locally.

To make a postal request:

We will post them to any UK or ROI address using the Royal Mail's Special Delivery service.

  • Find and reserve the item you want in Library Search
  • Select "Special delivery" as your pickup Library
  • Wait for an "Item available" email and respond with your current postal address. You will need to sign for them when they arrive, so you might prefer to use your work address. 

Return books by post:

If you are ready to return items to us, you can either bring them back to the library (if you live nearby) or contact mirc@cranfield.ac.uk  to arrange a free postal return.

Scan it for me! Request an item

If you only need to read a single article, book chapter, or conference paper from our stock (and it isn't available online), we can scan and email it to you. Please check we hold the item in stock using Library Search first, and then complete our online form: Scan it for me! Request an item to be scanned.
