Stephens Library

Staff Services

Stephens staff have the same library privileges as anyone else on campus, including the ability to borrow books, search for and download articles, and utilize library spaces. If you have any questions, please Contact Us.

Library Resources

Staff have access to all of the library’s resources, including books, articles, and all databases. Materials not available through the library can be requested via interlibrary loan.

MOBIUS Consortium

Stephens College is a member of the MOBIUS Consortium, a group of approximately 60 libraries, mostly academic, from Missouri and its surrounding states. The main benefits include:

• Ability to search the MOBIUS Catalog and request books on your own using the “Request It” feature. Books generally arrive at the Stephens Library in three to four working days, and the library will send you an email notification when your item(s) is ready to be picked up. You can even request that a book be sent to any (non-Stephens) member library for pickup.

• Ability to use the physical libraries of all MOBIUS Member Libraries. Books can be checked out directly at a member library using your Stephens ID card. Returns can be made to any member library, including the Stephens Library.

Interlibrary Loan

Particular books, articles, and videos that are not immediately available at the library can be requested through Interlibrary Loan. Log in and fill out the appropriate form (article, book or dissertation, video).

• Interlibrary Loan

Please note, before making a book request, check the MOBIUS Catalog. If available, you can request these books directly through the catalog. Books usually arrive within three working days.

Also, before making an article request, try the Stephens Library Quick Search. Any desired articles that are not immediately available can be more easily requested by using the "Request It” feature from within Quick Search.

Equipment Checkout

The library has available various items for checkout, including projectors, portable screens, and DSLR cameras. Use the AV Equipment Checkout page to see everything that’s available and to make a reservation.
