Attention MOBIUS Borrowers: Changes to MOBIUS During April and May
MOBIUS will transition to a new library catalog and resource sharing system in April and May of this year. The migration will begin on April 18th with a 5-week freeze on requesting materials from MOBIUS libraries. To facilitate a smooth transition to the new system, due dates for all MOBIUS materials will be adjusted to May 17th.
MOBIUS Timeline
- April 17: The last day to request items through MOBIUS
- April 18: Freeze on requesting from MOBIUS
- May 17: All MOBIUS item are due
- May 22: Estimated date that MOBIUS will resume borrowing and lending
Please do not hesitate to reach out to us at ask@missouri.libanswers.com if you have questions. We will explore options to ensure you have the materials you need during this transition, or you may request items directly through ILL@MU now.
Checkout practices will remain normal for all MU Libraries, UM system libraries (UMKC, UMSL and Missouri S&T) and University of Missouri Libraries Depositories (UMLD) borrowing; no disruption will occur between MU/UM/UMLD libraries during the MOBIUS transition.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to resuming MOBIUS borrowing and lending at the end of May. Thank you for your cooperation.
