If you should need to renew a book that has been obtained for you via interlibrary loan, you will need to contact Cindy Shearrer at 573-882-1125 or shearrerc@missouri.edu. Since this book has been obtained from a library that is not within the Merlin or MOBIUS consortium, a renewal request cannot be done online. It is entirely dependent upon the lending library as to whether or not a renewal will be granted, and if so, what the new due date might be. You will be notified by e-mail what the new due date is, or that the renewal has not been granted. If the book has been lent to us with the stipulation that no renewals will be granted, then of course, the book must be returned to us by the due date.
You will be notified by e-mail if a book that you have requested whether via Merlin, MOBIUS or interlibrary loan has been recalled. A book may not be recalled before the patron has had it at least one week. You will then have one week after the recall notification to return the book.
If you should need to renew a book that you have requested from Merlin or MOBIUS you may do so online.
