You can bring books back to us inside the library at the main circulation desks located just inside each entrance to the J.D. Williams Library or in the Science Library. We also have an outdoor book drop for book returns located at the corner of Dormitory Row North and Dormitory Row West. When using the outdoor book drop, be certain the items fall safely inside the bin. Please do not place Interlibrary Loan items, reserves, or videos in the Book Drop or leave any item on top of or beside the bin. Be aware that University outdoor trash cans look similar to the Book Drop, but don’t be fooled: there is ONLY ONE BOOK DROP 😊

This error message usually appears when you are no longer a current employee or registered student. We see a lot of students get this error after a semester ends. Make sure you are enrolled in at least one class for the current semester or for an upcoming semester. The system will automatically renew your library access after 24 hours from registering. If the problem continues after you have confirmed you are a current employee or student, please contact us at asklib@olemiss.edu as this may be a deeper issue.

The library does not have a fax machine. To send a fax on campus, go to Pak Mail located in Crosby Hall.

Our license agreements restrict access to our databases to current employees and students. Use this link for alumni services https://guides.lib.olemiss.edu/AlumniServices and remember that when you visit campus (alumni or a visitor), you are welcome to use computers inside the libraries to access databases without a login. If you are in-between semesters, you are not counted in the system as a current student, so as soon as you register for a class a 24 hour automatic transition takes place before you can resume library access. 

Loan Periods for book checkout depends on your status https://guides.lib.olemiss.edu/Circulation_and_Access_Services/Circulation_Policies

 Can I renew my books without bringing them back to the library? To see what items you have checked out and if you can renew them, use “My Library Account”. As long as a book is not overdue, you can renew it online up to 3 times. If you have problems with your account, contact Access Services at 662-915-5858 or libcirc@olemiss.edu
