The overall Circulation policies for the MSU Libraries follow below.
Locating materials -- Murray State University faculty are welcome to contact their subject librarians at any time for assistance in locating materials in the library. Materials can be pulled from the collection and held at theCirculation Desk for your pick-up later.
Reference/Periodicals -- Ask your subject librarian about the option to borrow reference materials and periodicals for brief periods. Some Reference items may be checked out to faculty only, with the permission of a reference librarian, usually for one week’s period. Single issues of a periodical may, with permission, be checked out overnight to faculty only.
Ask your subject librarian for assistance with any of the above.
