Use Discover@MU to search the catalog of Mizzou 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 box on the Mizzou Libraries' homepage.
You can search by topic, keyword, title, or author. If you know the exact title of the item you need, use quotation marks to search (e.g., “Living Nations, Living Words”).
Use the buttons beneath the search box to filter your results. Click "All filters" to filter by library location, subject, language, and more.
You can borrow books from any UM System library or depository. Click the "Place Request" button and select where you would like to pick up the item. If you need the item mailed to you, please contact Access Services at MULibraryCircDesk@missouri.edu or 573-882-3362.
MU Libraries will mail their books to MU Distance Learning students living outside Columbia. If a patron outside of Columbia lives near a MOBIUS library, the material will be sent to that library for your pickup. See this list to determine if you live near a MOBIUS library.
Use the scan and deliver service for electronic delivery of periodical articles, book chapters, proceedings, technical reports, government documents in the MU Libraries' collections.
