Library Services for Distance Learning
Mailing of Books and Articles
This service is available only to those students enrolled in courses coded by the university
as distance education.
The library will mail MSUM books and other materials obtained through interlibrary loan (books and
articles) to distance education students at no charge. Students will be responsible for mailing the materials
back to the library (copies of articles do not need to be returned). A mailing label will be provided for this
purpose. Books and other media may also be returned to the library.
The library will mail or fax copies of articles from magazines and journals that are not available online but are owned by the library.
When requesting materials, add the text "Distance education student. Mail/FAX (and include FAX # if using this option)" in the Notes box. Please see the following example.
