Students and staff can also use the GET mobile app to use their Mizzou Mobile ID.

To see if your professor has something on reserve, please visit the Engineering Circulation Desk to see the list of current reserve items. Electronic reserves (also known as e-reserves), can be accessed by visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/libraryguides.missouri.edu\/er.php?b=c\">the library&#8217;s website<\/a>.
