During the library’s renovation, there will be times when entire levels of the building are inaccessible. When this happens, you must request individual items through the online UM System catalog, as instructed below. Please allow up to 2 business days for retrieval. You can also request books through MOBIUS or Interlibrary Loan.
A Click the Place Request link to have an UMSL-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 potential 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.
