Recall "Checked Out" Items

Please use this form to request that we recall CHECKED OUT material and hold it for you.

What happens when this form is submitted? On the next business day (Monday - Friday, except University holidays), a "recall notice" will be sent to the borrower requesting return within 14 days. When the item is returned, you will be notified that it is being held for you. You may log in to your Library account to check the item's status.

POLICY: If a recalled item is not returned within 14 days, the current borrower loses library privileges, is fined $1 per day, is billed for replacement, and (if an MSU student) is blocked from MSU enrollment, registration, diploma, and transcripts.
