MnPALS Plus

The M State libraries contain thousands of books and hundreds of videos and DVDs. But when a resource cannot be found in one of the M State campus libraries, it may be possible to borrow the item from another library using the Interlibrary loan process. To initiate this process, click on the ILL link located near the top and middle of the page that contains the resource information you are looking at. You will need to supply a user name which is the fourteen digit barcode on your student ID card. The password is your last name. Your ID/library card must be activated to make the process work. For assistance with the Interlibrary Loan process you can call any of the M State libraries for help.

In the M State library catalog from above, you will need to click on "Your Borrowing Record". From the MnPALS Plus catalog below, you will just click "Login" in the upper right of the screen.

To see your information, you will need to enter your username (14 digit barcode from the back of your student ID card) and password (last name). Then click on loans and review the information about each item you have borrowed. Then click on the renew link and proceed to renew your item.
