Getting/Borrowing Items
Loan Periods, Renewals, etc (Access Services)

Information related to the circulation (checking out, checking in, shelving, etc) and use of items in the library. Find out who can check out materials, for how long, and how you do it, as well as how to renew materials. Persons not currently affiliated with Oakland may still check out materials if they purchase a Kresge Library Guest Card or are a member of a reciprocal institution.

Collection Development

Details which librarians are responsible for which areas of the library's collections, as well as information on how to request an item be added to the collection.

Direct Borrowing from Other Libraries

Kresge Library has made arrangements with some area libraries so that Oakland University students, staff, and faculty can check items out directly from them. Find out where to go and what type of identification you'll need to use this service.

Interlibrary Loan

Need an item we don't have in the library? No problem. Chances are very good that our Interlibrary Loan department can have the item (or a copy of it) sent to Kresge Library for you. There is no charge for this service for OU students, staff, and faculty. Persons not currently affiliated with Oakland may order ILL materials if they purchase a Kresge Library Guest Card and pay a fee of $10 per request

Telephone renewals

Do you have an item that's soon-to-be-due? Something that's overdue? Renew it over the phone before those late fees rack up.
