excerpt from Gioacchino Toma's

Finding Books

  • Search Discover@MU (blue box search on library.missouri.edu). Then limit to UM Books (left sidebar) and refine search as needed.
  • We will fetch your books, but if you find books yourself, you may find more books.
  • 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.
