(University of Missouri Clients with a MoCode & Account)

Programs are available on a rental basis with department authorization for charges to be assessed against a MoCode & Account. Faculty members, staff members, and students may place an order in one of three ways:
  • A fiscal officer may send a written (Internal Order Form/UM48 ) or electronic request including MoCode & Account and complete information concerning program(s) requested, desired pick-up and return dates, and name of individual ordering to Media Library, MU Academic Support Center, 505 E. Stewart Rd. (Campus Mail) or asc-media-lib@missouri.edu.
  • Call the media library at (573) 882-3601 with information about the program(s) requested, desired pick-up and return dates, and the department and 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.
  • Come to room 11 of the Academic Support Center (505 E. Stewart Rd.) with an Internal Order Form (UM48) from your department fiscal office including MoCode & Account to be charged and place your order.
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.

Some departments have established blanket accounts for specific programs. If your department would like to set up a blanket account, please contact Joe Miller at (573) 882-3603.

Some department fiscal officers provide faculty members with a MoCode and Account to use. In such cases, please place your request by e-mail and copy the fiscal officer to indicate that the fiscal officer has authorized the rental fee.

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.
