Checkouts + Renewals

A current Stephens College ID card is needed to checkout items from the library.

It is an individual's responsibility to return materials in a timely fashion, and we encourage students not to check out materials for friends. Whomever the material is charged to is responsible for any fines.

If a longer loan period is needed, materials may usually be renewed (but not in all cases). Use the following link to try to renew your materials:

You may also contact us directly or even stop by to renew materials.

Databases by Format

MOBIUS

The MOBIUS Catalog contains millions of physical (print) books that can be requested on your own by using the “Request It” feature. Books arrive within three to five work days and you will receive an email notification that the book(s) is ready to be picked up.

The Prospector catalog works the same way but books tend to take longer to arrive. Please allow one to two weeks.

If you have any questions or problems making a request, please Contact Us.
