Use Discover@MU to search the catalog of MU and UM System libraries.
Discover@MU includes our books, DVDs, recordings, and other physical materials, as well as articles, e-books, journals, videos, and other digital materials from library databases. Search it from the blue search box on the MU Libraries' homepage.
Use the search box on the homepage of the MU library website to find and request books and other physical items. You can search by topic or keyword, or by title or author for specific items. If you know the exact title of the item you need, use quotation marks to search (e.g. “Living Nations, Living Words”). Choose the filter UM Books to limit to print books across the four campuses, or scroll down to Library Location to limit to certain libraries.
You may see books available at the other UM Libraries. Click Show More to see all the locations for an item.
Book results will show you:
You can also search the call number for books in Ellis Library and get directions.
You can see the list of materials you currently have checked out, view their due dates, or renew your loans by logging in to your library account.
On the MU library website, click the My Accounts tab on the gold bar along the top of the screen. Choose View My MU Libraries Account and sign in using your MU username and password (what you use to log into myZou).
At the next screen, choose either My Library Account or My Loans (both in the black top bar).
Under View my MU Libraries Account, you can renew books currently checked out from any UM Library (if the title is eligible for renewal).
Note: Renewal limits are based on your affiliation and the type of material. See the Loan Periods page for information on the different loan policies. If it will not allow you to renew online, you will need to bring the book to the circulation desk along with your MU ID card.
To manage items you have borrowed that are not from the UM system libraries, click on View my MOBIUS Checkouts. You will also use your MU ID and password to access this information.
