Circulation: Students/Employees

Printing, Scanning, and Copying

Mobility Print

Students can print to campus printers from their personal devices.

Please Note: "Print Anywhere" Copiers are COLOR-print capable, but students will need to go into printer options and select COLOR Print if they really want to print in color. Be sure to check the student pricing schedule for best options.

Renewing Library Materials/Setting up a Library Account

Library materials may be renewed once. The renewal period is the same length of time as the original circulation period. (e.g., if books circulate for 3 weeks, they may be renewed for 3 additional weeks).

Renewals can always be made by calling the circulation department (x3860) or by stopping by the circulation desk. Further, Messiah students and employees (only) may renew items online through the Murray Library catalog, provided the renewal request is initiated before the item's due date. To renew online, users must set up their library account.

Setting up your library account:

  • From within the catalog, click on the My Account tab.
  • Institution ID: key in your ID number which is located on your ID card. If you only have a six-digit ID number, please add two zeros at the beginning. For example, 00123456.
  • After keying in your last name, click on OK.

Renewing Library Materials:

  • Check the box next to each item you want to renew.
    NOTE: If your materials are overdue, your account is automatically blocked. You will need to go to the Library in person in order to have your account unblocked.
  • Click on "Request Renewal" button.
  • New due dates will appear for those items that have been renewed.
    NOTE: Items may only be renewed once.
  • Renew your items

Holds

Any current student or employee needing a book already checked out can place a HOLD on the item so that, when it is returned, the requesting patron will be next to get the item.

To place a Hold:

  • place a Hold online; or
  • stop by or call (x3860) the Circulation Desk and have a staff person place a "HOLD" on the item.

Placing a Hold online:

  • When viewing the record for an item in the library catalog, click on the "Make a Request" link in box at right.
  • If you haven't already logged in to your account, the Login screen will appear. Log in.
  • Click on "Hold" button.
  • On "Patron Requests" page that appears, fill in 8-digit ID number (at bottom) and click "Submit."

When item arrives back:

  • Patrons will be notified by campus mail when items they have requested are available for pick up from the Circulation Desk Hold shelf. Items will be held for one week, after which they will be returned to the Library stacks.

PLEASE NOTE: Items that the system says are "On shelf" will not be pulled and placed on Hold. Patrons will need to go to the shelves and check the items out on a first come, first served basis.
