If you are teaching away from Kirksville, you may visit any MOBIUS library and check out books using your Truman I.D. You may also order books through MOBIUS (from Truman or elsewhere) at any time; you can request that the books be sent to any MOBIUS library--wherever it is most convenient for you.
Items not available through our library or MOBIUS may be requested through the
Interlibrary Loan Office. Items will be FAXed or mailed to you.

off campus. Select the mode of access below and follow the
directions:

Virtual Private Network (VPN) - If you have a broadband high speed connection.

Proxy Server - If you are using a commercial dial-up system (e.g. Mark Twain or Nemr) and have a regular phone modem for speeds up to 56kbps.
If you are unable to access a database you need, a

you. You may select the items you need and send your requests back.
