Search Tips

  • Participating libraries appear with their MeL Agency Code followed by the library name, and if applicable, the branch name.
  • Search by MeL Agency Code for the most reliable results.
    • Always verify two matching points — MeL Agency Code and the library name.
  • Labels for library sites that have temporarily suspended RIDES service will not print.
    • Materials being returned to libraries listed as *Temporarily Not Participating* may be sent to ZY001 Midwest Coll for Lib Services.
  • If a library name does not appear, they do not participate in RIDES service.
  • Shipping labels for libraries that are part of a central delivery site will print the central delivery address.
    • If you are not sure which branch you should select to return an item, choose any branch. The lending library is responsible for making sure items are property stamped with the correct branch location.
