JCKL offers assistance with your research needs.  Library employees are available at the Information Desk to assist you as you begin your research project. Library employees can also refer you to the appropriate subject librarian who can assist with more extensive research needs.

We can help by showing you the best resources to use for your research topic.  We also help with placing requests through interlibrary loan for items you need that are outside of JCKL collections.

Assistance is provided face-to-face at the desk, by appointment, through chat, or by text.  The Information Desk number is (660) 543-4154.

Checking Out Materials - All patrons must present their current UCM ID card or official photo identification, i.e., driver's license, military ID, etc. to check out materials from the James C. Kirkpatrick Library.

Renewals - Most library material check outs can be renewed unless a Hold/Recall has been placed on the material.  However, laptops cannot be renewed.  Renewals may be done through:

• "My Library Account"
• phone: (660) 543-4154
• In person at the Information Desk.

Special Collections materials - Special Collections items may only be accessed by appointment, Monday - Friday from 8 am through 5 pm.  To make an appointment, contact Maya Kucij, the Special Collections Librarian.  More information is available on the UCM Special Collections Guide.
