Overview

The circulation policies outline the privileges and responsibilities of all who borrow materials from the UM-St. Louis Libraries. Among our highest priorities is to enable seamless access to an integrated collection of materials that support the University’s teaching and research missions.

To check out materials, bring the materials and your identification card to the circulation desks. For check out procedures the appropriate ID cards are required:

• UM-St. Louis Community - UMSL faculty, staff, and students need to present a valid UMSL ID card
• St. Louis Mercantile Library - Members of the St. Louis Mercantile Library need a Guest Borrower card which is provided at the Thomas Jefferson Library circulation desk
• Guest Borrowers - Community members need a Guest Borrower card purchased at Thomas Jefferson or Ward E. Barnes Library circulation desks
• Alumni Members - Former UM-St. Louis students who have joined the UMSL Alumni Association need a Guest Borrower card provided at Thomas Jefferson or Ward E. Barnes Library circulation desks, in addition to their alumni card
• INFO-PASS - Members of the St. Louis Regional Library Network need to present the INFO-PASS for a one time check out of materials not available at their home library
