During the library’s renovation, there will be times when entire levels of the building are inaccessible to students and other patrons. When this happens, you must request individual items through the online catalog, as instructed below. Please allow up to 2 business days for retrieval.
A Click the Place Request link to have a TJ-owned book pulled and held for you, or to have a book shipped to TJ Library from one of the other UM System libraries.
B When the options box pops up, you can choose the first available copy (the default option) or a copy from a specific library.
C If the book is available at your home library, choose that copy instead of first available to eliminate delays.
D Choose a pickup location—in this case, UMSL TJ Library.
E When your request has been placed, you’ll see a request acknowledgment with your place in the queue and a link to Remove the request if you’ve had second thoughts. See the Accessing Your Library Accounts section of this guide to check the status of all your requests and loans.
