The MUSM Skelton
Medical Libraries circulation policy is designed to make library materials
equally accessible to all eligible borrowers. Full borrowing privileges are
extended to faculty, staff, students, and residents of MUSM.
When circulation
assistance is requested, such as for checkout or renewal, the library staff
requires that you have your Mercer ID card (BearCard) with you.
