• When searching Discover@MU, you may limit to "UM Books" (all campuses) or by individual library. The UM Books limit is recommended, because it will include books from Ellis Library, the Law Library, the Journalism Library, and the Depository.
• Expand book search to MOBIUS for more books that can be sent to you at MU.
• You can only use ebooks if they have an MU online access link.
• Always check the book's location, note its call number, and check that it is not checked out.
