About Circulation

The circulation department, situated on the first floor near the front doors of Moffett Library, is responsible for checking out items to patrons, reshelving items, and facilitating the borrowing of course reserves from professors. Additionally, patrons can place holds on library materials, which can be picked up directly from the circulation desk.

Card holders must:
  • Present card when checking out materials
  • Return or renew borrowed materials on or before the due date
  • Be financially responsible for damages or loss of borrowed materials
  • Report loss of borrowed materials to the library immediately
  • Report loss or theft of ID card to the library and campus police immediately
Note:  

REGISTRATION HOLDS may be placed on borrowers with outstanding materials and/or any fees owed for lost or damaged items.


Checking Out Library Materials


Individuals with a current MSU Texas Campus Card, an Alumni card, or a TexShare / Area User card are eligible to borrow materials from Moffett Library. Loan periods and renewal options by borrower status are displayed below.

Renewals and holds may be done online through Moffett Library's catalog. Items can only be renewed online before the due date (overdue books cannot be renewed). Library users with a valid ID, no library fees for damaged or lost items, and no overdue items may place a hold on an item that is checked out.

Need to renew or place a hold on an item?

Log in to the MSU Portal, and choose Library Account from the menu, to view/renew your borrowed materials and request items.
