Contact your local MOBIUS branch library to learn more. 

SLAM STAFF: How to Place MOBIUS/OpenRS Requests

To start your search, make sure to consult the Richardson Memorial Library's catalog. We grant much longer circulation periods to SLAM staff than are available through MOBIUS.

1. Sign in to your Library user account.

2. Select your institution (Saint Louis Art Museum).

3. Sign in with your institutional username (NOT your email) and password.

4. Find your item in MOBIUS/OpenRS and select "Place a Hold."

5. Wait for confirmation that your hold has been placed.

6. To confirm that your hold is appearing in your RML account, go to LOCATE, sign in and select "My Bookshelf." 

7.  Watch for a notification email that your requested item has arrived.
