World Campus and Distance Researchers

Our World Campus & Distance Researchers delivery service allows the following individuals to request
delivery of materials to their home addresses:

  • Penn State online/world campus students
  • Cooperative Extension faculty and staff
  • Graduate students completing a dissertation
  • Continuing and distance education
  • Faculty on sabbatical
  • Emeritus faculty
  • Undergraduates participating in internship programs
  • Military service members (new, fall 2024)

You must have a Penn State Account and an ILLiad account to borrow materials. Please remember to keep your current address in ILLiad and in your Penn State Account. We use both accounts to verify your information. Choose World Campus as your pickup location when ordering materials.

Please note: Items can only be mailed to addresses in the United States. Please contact us if you live outside of the U.S. and require assistance to obtain materials.

Effective October 2024, we are able to offer physical delivery services to military service members with APO/FPO addresses via the U.S. Postal Service. Contact us at ul-illiad-support@psu.edu if you have questions about the new service.
