When it's NOT in the Library....

BOOKS:

MOBIUS links 60 Missouri academic libraries so that you can search their catalogs at one time.  You can borrow books from these libraries, requesting them online.  A delivery service brings what you've ordered generally within 3-4  working days.  You will be notified by Truman e-mail when the books arrive.  Pick up and return books at the Library's Circulation Desk (University ID required).  You can keep them for 21-days with two 21-day renewals if not needed elsewhere.  You can renew them online through My Library Account.  There is no charge for this service.  (NOTE:  You cannot order articles through MOBIUS.)

WorldCat.  When MOBIUS doesn't have what you need, you can try interlibrary loan.  WorldCat contains more than 53 million records for material in libraries in the United States and around the world.  You can order online.  Pick up and return books at the Library's Circulation Desk (University ID required).  These items come in the mail and  therefore take longer to arrive than MOBIUS books.  Loan periods are set by the lending library.  To renew, you must contact the Interlibrary Loan Office.  There is no charge for this service.  (You cannot order articles through WorldCat.)


ARTICLES:

Use Interlibrary Loan.  Items may be requested by:
        (1) Filling out forms at the reference desk.
        (2) Filling out forms through the
Library's Web site.
        (3) Ordering directly when using a
FirstSearch database.
Your division will be back charged for the articles unless other arrangements are made.

You cannot order articles through MOBIUS.

Call the Interlibrary Loan Office for questions:  785-4534.
