The book catalog is now integrated with the search box on the homepage which is called Discover@MU. This search includes our books, DVDs, recordings, and other physical materials, as well as articles, e-books, journals, videos, and other digital materials from library databases. It will also show items located at the other three University of Missouri campuses.
Find books owned by MU Libraries
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 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 items at the University of Missouri campuses.
You will see books available at the other UM Libraries. Click Show More to see if MU has a copy.
See the list of materials you have borrowed, view their due dates, or renew your loan on materials (extend the due date) by logging into your library account.
1. On the MU library website, click the My Accounts link in the gold bar near the top of the screen.
2 Choose View My MU Libraries Account. Use your MU username and password to log in (what you use to log into myZou).
3. At the next screen, choose either My Library Account or My Loans (both in the black top bar).
4. Under View my MU Libraries Account you can opt to renew books currently checked out from any UM Library (if title is eligible for renewal).
Note: Most items can be renewed up to five times for UM affiliates. If you need to renew a sixth time, you must bring the physical item to a campus library along with your MU ID card. See the Loan Periods page for the loan periods for different categories of library material and borrowers.
To manage items you have borrowed from either MOBIUS or Prospector, click on View my MOBIUS Checkouts. You will also use your MU user name and password to access this information.
