Books are loaned to Saint Mary students, faculty, and staff for the semester.
Periodicals, Reference, and Special Collections items do not circulate. An appointment must be made with the Library Director in order to tour or use Special Collections.
Reserves – Faculty may place their own or library materials on reserve at the Circulation Desk for the convenience of their students. Time limits are determined by the faculty member and may vary from in-library use to several days. Reserve materials should be returned directly to the Circulation Desk.
Interlibrary Loan – Students and faculty needing books or periodicals not available in De Paul Library may request them through Interlibrary Loan. Off-campus patrons are encouraged to contact their public library or home academic library to arrange for interlibrary loans.
If you have any questions, contact the Desk at 913-758-6306 or via ask@stmary.edu.
The Keleher Learning Commons does not charge fines or late fees for USM materials.
However, late or non-returned items will result in a hold being placed on the user's account. Saint Mary students will not receive grades, transcripts, or diplomas.
Patrons will be fined the replacement cost of the item plus a $20 processing fee. If the patron finds the item and it is returned in good condition, fines will be rescinded.
