Off-Site Services

Online and students at extension sites have full library privileges; however distance may make some processes slightly different. Students in the Northeast Missouri area are always welcome to visit the library in person.

Students outside the Northeast Missouri region may want to follow these procedures:

  • HLGU students have online request capabilities.

  • Books will be mailed to the student’s home. Please use enclosed mailing label to return books. If limited on time, students may want to use only online resources.  
  • For students outside the Northeast Missouri area, students may want to use the WorldCat Database and request interlibrary loans through a local library. Students need to check with their local library on procedures and delivery times. Please allow three to four weeks if the request is being sent through HLGU and having the item sent via the U.S. postal system.
  • Magazine articles can be accessed online through EBSCOhost, ERIC, Jstor, or one of the other databases. Use the help buttons within each database for instructions on how to use them. To access HLGU’s databases students need to login using their HLGU email address and HLGU network password.
