Community Patrons & Guests
Welcome to the Library!
Library staff members are here to help you, so please ask us for assistance if you need it.
Anyone who lives in close proximity to Conception Abbey may apply to be a Community Patron. Please contact Barbie Cowan (660)944-2803 or bcowan@conception.edu for more information.
Guests are individuals who are staying at the abbey for a short time.
Guests are welcome to use library items but may not check out or remove them from the library. Long term guests may apply for checkout privileges. Please contact Barbie Cowan (660)944-2803 or bcowan@conception.edu for more information.
Community Patrons, including the Sisters from Clyde, are welcome to use library items but may only check them out once they have received a library account. Please contact Barbie Cowan (660)944-2803 or bcowan@conception.edu for more information.
You can search for items in our library through our library catalog
Once you have found the item you want, you may read it in the library.
If you have a library account, 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.
The Clyde Sisters are able to request items directly from the Mobius and Prospector consortia. They may also submit a request form below for items, including journal articles, from other libraries. A library ID number is required.
Community Patrons may only request items from other libraries, at the discretion of the library director, through the forms below.
Please contact Barbie Cowan (660)944-2803 or bcowan@conception.edu if you need assistance.
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 in the Mobius Catalog or through the link below. A library ID number is required.
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. For journal articles, submit your request on the form below. If you are not sure of the exact item, search WorldCat first.
Our library items on hold, Mobius, Prospector, and items from other libraries are available for pickup on the holds shelf, which is located to your left as you enter the library office door. Items on the holds shelf are already checked out to you.
