Requested items usually arrive in 3 working days

You will be notified by email You can keep print for 3 weeks with 6 possible renewals. Another hold will

prevent renewals. DVD’s circulate for 1 week. No renewals.

For database access from home/work make sure you use the Malone library website or LibGuides link, otherwise the system will not recognize you as a Malone student.

A screen will appear asking you to authenticate you are a Malone student. Simply input your name and barcode number

In a world where Google can give you thousands of answers, a librarian will always bring you the right one.
