(UMKC, UMR, and UMSL Clients)

Programs are available on a rental basis with department authorization for charges to be assessed against a MoCode & Account. Faculty and staff members may place an order in one of three ways:

Ask an authorized fiscal officer to send a written or electronic request (Internal Order Form (UM48) including MoCode & Account and complete information concerning the program(s) requested, desired use date(s), and name and shipping address of individual ordering to Media Library, MU Academic Support Center, 505 E. Stewart Rd. via Courier Mail.
Call the media library at (573) 882-3601 with complete information about the program(s) requested, desired use date(s), the name and shipping address of the person to whom the item(s) should be sent, and the MoCode & Account that will be provided on an Internal Order Form (UM48) via mail by the department fiscal officer after the item is temporarily scheduled.

MoCode & Account:
MoCodes & Accounts provided by authorized fiscal officers are required for all orders paid using University funds. If you are unfamiliar with University accounting procedures, check with your department chairperson or fiscal officer. The MoCode & Account, department name, and name/address of the fiscal officer to whom department charge information should be sent are necessary when placing an order.

Telephone Inquiries:
Telephone inquiries are accepted from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Time (7:30 a.m to 4:00 p.m. during the summer). The telephone number is (573) 8862-3601. Please have all information available when calling.

When placing your inquiry, library staff can verify when a program will be available for use or temporarily schedule the program with the understanding that a department representative will provide the appropriate MoCode & Account within two days (or written authorization will be brought to the library when the item is being picked if the item is needed immediately). A confirming order number will be given for inclusion on the authorization.

Rental Fees:

UMKC, UMR, or UMSL Clients:
The basic rental rate listed in our catalogs and web pages is for one or two days use by faculty or staff members at UMKC, UMR, or UMSL. Extended rental charges are calculated as follows:
UMKC, UMR, or UMSL Clients:
	Less than 3 days	see title listing since base rate varies by title
	3 to 5 days	1-1/2 times the base rate
	6 to 10 days	2 times the base rate
	11 to 15 days	2-1/2 times the base rate
	16 to 20 days	3 times the base rate
	Overdue Charges: All programs must be returned at the end of the scheduled use period. Overdue fees are $3.00 per item, per day, or the extended rental rate, whichever is greater. Refer to the packing list included with each shipment.

Other Charges:
The user will be charged the regular rental rate for items cancelled after packaging for shipment, and for replacement of containers and/or boxes which are not returned. When an order is placed, the user agrees to also accept charges for telephone calls which may be made if items are not returned on schedule.

Damaged or Lost Programs:
Programs are inspected after each use and customers will be held responsible for damage beyond normal wear and tear, as well as for any loss of programs while in their possession or during transit back to the Media Library.

Usage Statements:
Statements concerning charges for all items used by a department are sent on a monthly basis to the departmental fiscal officer.

Cancelling Scheduled Items:
Cancellations should be requested at least 7 days prior to the beginning use date. No rental charges will be cancelled if the item has already been packaged for shipment before the library scheduling office receives a request for cancellation.

Extending Use Periods:
Should you desire to use a program for a period which is longer than originally scheduled, contact the library scheduling office immediately. The use dates will be extended if there are no other immediate bookings, and the rental charges will be adjusted accordingly. Requests for extension should be received on or before the last scheduled use date indicated on the packing list and the Status Report.

Returning Materials:
Programs must be placed in courier mail on the working day immediately following the last scheduled use date. Overdue charges will be assessed on programs which are not returned promptly.
