4. A note sent to your MU e-mail account will notify you when the item is ready to be picked up. Most books requested from MOBIUS arrive in 2-3 days and can only be held for 7 days before they must be sent back to the lending library -- be sure you will be available to pick them up as soon as they arrive.
   
5. Journal articles and some other items held by MOBIUS Libraries may not be requested online from the catalog. Please go to the ILL@MU (Interlibrary loan logon page) to request journal articles and any other item that indicats that your request was denied in either MERLIN or MOBIUS.
