Borrowing Library Materials
You can borrow books, journals, videos, CDs, etc. from Ellis Library and the branch libraries. Each library has a Circulation Desk or Check-out Desk. At this desk you can check out books, bound journals, videos and other library materials. All borrowed library materials must be checked out at the Circulation Desk. This is also the place where you return borrowed materials, request a book that someone else has checked out and pay fines.

MU ID card
Your MU ID Card is your library card for MU Libraries. You must have your MU ID to borrow library books and other materials. Take your ID and the items to the person at the Circulation Desk who will check them out for you. You are responsible for all materials signed out to you. |

Loan Periods
For information on checkout times for books and materials, please see the Borrow, Request and Renew page. Check branch libraries for their individual loan periods.
Recalled Books
A book is recalled if another student or faculty requests a particular checked-out book. Once a book is requested, the MU Libraries reserve the right to recall the book(s) after two weeks of use. Materials needed for class Reserve may be recalled at any time. If you needed for a book to be recalled for your use, go to the Circulation Desk in Ellis Library or to any branch library Circulation Desk.
Book Searches
Any student or faculty may place a search request on a library item that cannot be found in the Library. If the Library Catalog shows that an item is available but you cannot find it on the shelf, you may bring your MU student ID to the Circulation Desk in Ellis Library or the branch library where the book is located and ask that it be searched. You will receive an email notification when the book is located. Items found by the library are held for 7 days and will be held at the Circulation Desk for you to check out.
