MOBIUS / Interlibrary Loan

MOBIUS facilitates borrowing/lending between libraries in Missouri and surrounding areas. Interlibrary Loan facilitates borrowing/lending between libraries in and outside the U.S.

MOBIUS Services Resumed

MOBIUS is back! We have a new catalog to facilitate requesting items from other MOBIUS libraries. On-site borrowing at other MOBIUS institutions is not currently activated, but it should be available at some point in the future.
