MSSU is a member of the MOBIUS consortium of over 70 libraries located mostly in Missouri for the purpose of sharing materials, such as books or DVDs.
Students from MOBIUS libraries are eligible to electronically request books from other member libraries. A courier connects each MOBIUS library for expedited delivery. Although delivery times vary, especially depending on the lending library's location, books typically arrive within 3-5 business days.
MOBIUS institutional membership covers the cost of belonging to this consortium. Therefore, students do not have to pay for books they order when they retrieve them at the main circulation desk of our library. MOBIUS affords MSSU students access to millions of volumes of books, most of which would have been ordered through traditional interlibrary loan, a more time-consuming and costlier option, if the consortium did not exist.
Students who order MOBIUS books will be notified through their campus email accounts when their item(s) arrive. All MOBIUS books should be returned to the Main Circulation desk on the third floor by or before the due date.
