Students, Seminary Faculty & Staff
Welcome to the Library!
Library staff members are here to help you, so please ask us for assistance if you need it.
You will need a library ID to check your library account, request items from Mobius and Prospector, and renew items.
- Seminary Faculty and Staff are issued accounts and ID numbers at the start of employment.
- Students are issued accounts when they first enroll in the seminary. The library ID is the student ID number.
You can search for items in our library through our library catalog
Once you have found the item you want, follow the instructions at the circulation kiosks located throughout the library: at the circulation desk, on the second floor landing, near the AV and Media collections.
Please see a library staff member if you need assistance.
Since our library is a member of the Mobius library consortium, students, faculty, and staff are able to request items directly from other consortium members. Search the consortium catalog to request items. You will need your Library ID to request items.
If you can’t find what you want in Mobius, search the Prospector catalog. Prospector is a Colorado based consortium that has a borrowing agreement with Mobius. You can search Prospector through the Mobius Catalog or through the link below. You will need your Library ID to request items.
If you still can’t find what you want, you can send us a request through a form below and we will request the item for you. To request journal articles, submit the appropriate information on the form below. If you are not sure of the exact item, search WorldCat first.
Our library items placed on hold, Mobius, Prospector, and items from other libraries are available for pickup on the holds shelf, which is located on your left as you enter the library office door.
Items on the holds shelf are already checked out to you.
