How to find articles, books, and more using our library search tool.

UMSL students, faculty, and staff have access to 3 library accounts, depending on the material they've requested, checked out, or saved. Below is an explanation of the differences between them and how to access them.

The other pages in this section provide guidance on how to renew your loans and perform other account actions. 
 

 A   On the library homepage (umsl.edu/library), click the Library Accounts button below the Discover@UMSL search box.

 B   This will pull up a dialog box that provides access buttons and explains how the three accounts differ. Note that clicking the My Library Account button will not take you directly to your account. You’ll first need to log in (if prompted), and then you’ll be taken to the New Search page, where you’ll click the My Library Account link in the dark gray bar near the top right corner of the page.
