Monks & Abbey Employees

You will need a library ID to check your library account, request items from Mobius and Prospector, and renew items.

• Monks are given a library account and ID number when they join the monastic community.
• Employees may request an account and ID number at any time during employment.

You can search for items in our library through our library catalog

Library Catalog

Once you have found the item you want, follow the instructions at the circulation kioks 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, monks and employees are able to request items directly from other consortium members.  Search the consortium catalog to request items.  You will need your Library ID. 

• Mobius Catalog

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.

• Prospector Catalog

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.

If another library user requests an item you have checked out, you will receive a notice and be asked to return the item within the next two weeks.

Renewable items from other libraries can be renewed 7 days before the due date.

If an item has a hold placed on it by another library user, the item cannot be renewed.

ILL items cannot be renewed by the patron and some items are not eligible for renewal.  If you have difficulty trying to renew an item, please contact Barbie Cowan (660)944-2803 or bcowan@conception.edu for more information.
