How long can I keep a book?
Answer
Loan periods and borrowing privileges vary according to the user's status and the lending library's policies.
- All materials are checked out by presenting the appropriate ID card.
- Checking out materials from the library implies that the user will abide by the library's rules by returning the materials in good order and by the due dates.
- Failure to meet either condition may result in fines and/or the loss of privileges.
- MOBIUS materials can be renewed two times depending on availability. University of Missouri Libraries materials follow the policies of the lending institution.
- Any University of Missouri Libraries or MOBIUS item may be recalled at any time by the lending institution.
