Save a Trip to the Library: Request Scan & Deliver
If you need journal articles, book chapters, proceedings, technical reports, government documents, and any part of other printed publications found within the libraries, simply request that the item be scanned and delivered to you via email. This includes items in any library building, and our off-site depository.
There are many ways you can request items from the libraries:
- In our MU Libraries catalog, you can request items we have in print using
- When searching for articles in databases, you can request a copy through
- Fill out the blank interlibrary loan form if you already know what item you are looking for
There is no charge for MU Faculty, Staff, and Students. For more information on our Scan & Deliver service, please visit our Scan & Deliver page.

Severe Weather Preparedness Week, March 4-8
Severe weather preparedness week is an annual initiative between the National Weather Service and State Emergency Management Agencies across the country. In Missouri, Severe Weather Preparedness Week is in March. This year it is March 4 – 8. The statewide tornado drill will be at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, March 6. The National Weather Service will issue a Routine Weekly Test (RWT) to NOAA Weather radios to initiate the drill. As with a real tornado warning, this will activate the Outdoor Warning Siren (OWS) system in Boone County at the same time. MUPD will test the campus emergency notification system at 11 a.m. A test tornado warning will be sent out through MU Alert via text, email, Alertus beacons, and the Mizzou Safe app. The purpose of the drill is to involve our campus community in preparing for life-threatening severe weather events such as tornadoes, flash floods, and damaging straight line winds and understanding how they should respond to these hazards.
