Renewal of library material occurs automatically for all material that can be renewed. An email notice is sent a few days before an item is due informing you that it was either automatically renewed or is due soon—please check the due date for each item listed in this email notice.

An item cannot be renewed if it has no remaining renewal period, it has been requested by someone else, or if your library account has been billed for an item.

Students, faculty and staff can always view the current status of their checked-out material as well as their requested items through their .

If you are still using library material that is due soon and cannot be renewed, we can help — please contact us.

If an item you have checked out has been lost or damaged, we can help—please visit us at the circulation desk, call us at (314) 977-3081, or email us at xlcirc@slu.edu.

If an item you have checked out reaches 21 days overdue, a flat replacement fee determined by the law library’s agreement with MOBIUS (currently $120) will be charged to your library account and your borrowing privileges will be suspended. If you still need the item or it is lost or damaged, we can help—please contact us; otherwise, please return the item to remove this charge and reinstate your borrowing privileges.

Faculty who wish to have their faculty fellow or research assistant check out library material on their behalf to their faculty library account should either submit a Proxy Authorization Form or email their request to xlcirc@slu.edu.

Faculty fellows and research assistants should not check out items for faculty on their own student library accounts.

Faculty fellows and research assistants cannot directly request items from 91Å®Éñ, MOBIUS, or Prospector libraries on behalf of faculty; rather, faculty fellows and research assistants should contact their faculty member’s liaison librarian or email xlcirc@slu.edu with their requests.
