Renewing Library Materials
You can renew library materials over the phone by calling (414) 277-7180, or in person at the circulation desk.
You may also renew items on the Library Catalog. Select the My Account Tab and enter the barcode number on your MSOE ID. Then select Checked Out to view items you currently have checked out. Select any you wish to renew and click renew.
See this document: Library Catalog Account for further instructions on renewing items and viewing your library account.
Library items may be recalled at any time. If an item you have on loan is recalled, you will be notified and will be expected to return the item promptly.
Overdue materials that are not returned are considered lost by you and you will be billed by Student Accounts for the cost of the item's replacement and a processing fee.
