MOBIUS Update: Borrowing From Prospector Ends on January 12

Have you used the Prospector borrowing option in the MOBIUS catalog recently? If so, you are aware that requesting to and from the Prospector consortium ceases on Friday, January 12th. Please use traditional Interlibrary Loan services to request materials that are not available locally or via MOBIUS. Questions may be directed to ask@missouri.edu.libanswers.com.

Borrowing from Prospector is ceasing because MOBIUS will soon migrate to a new library software system. The collaboration between MOBIUS and Prospector will not resume once the new library software system is up and running as the two consortiums will no longer be using the same software for requesting materials.

Prospector is a unified catalog of academic, public and special libraries in Colorado and Wyoming that is managed by the Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries. MOBIUS and Prospector launched the innovative peer-to-peer collaboration to share materials across consortiums in August 2014.
