Accounts in AMBS WorldCat

In this short video, AMBS Librarian Karl Stutzman demonstrates signing in to AMBS WorldCat to view and renew loans and view and modify requests.

Renewals

Library materials may be renewed once for the same time period as the first loan. Renewals may be requested three ways:

  • Sign in to "My Account" in AMBS WorldCat
  • Via phone: 574-296-6253
  • Via e-mail: libraryassistant@ambs.edu

Recalls

All library materials are subject to recall if needed for course reserve or another special purpose. You will be contacted directly via e-mail if you need to bring back a book you have on loan. The library assistant will make arrangements to see that your needs for the item are met alongside other persons' needs.
