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 your Library account. There is no charge for
this service. You can have out up to 20 books at
one time through MOBIUS. (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 85 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.
(NOTE: You cannot order articles through WorldCat.)
