Q. How can I get a book I need that is not at any of the SLU Libraries?

If you don't find an available copy of a book you need listed in the SLU Libraries Catalog: 

• Click on the MOBIUS icon in the SLU Libraries Catalog to search the collections of over 80 partner libraries (mostly academic libraries in Missouri). 

• If you locate an available copy of the book in MOBIUS:
  • Click the Request link.
  • Select MOBIUS - Saint Louis University as your library from the drop-down menu.
  • On the next screen, enter your name and Banner ID number (including the leading zeroes).
  • Select MOBIUS - Saint Louis University as your Pickup Library and your preferred SLU Library as your pickup location.
• If you do not locate an available copy in the MOBIUS Catalog:
• PROSPECTOR IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE, so it will not show up as a loan option;  Please use traditional Interlibrary Loan services to request materials that are not available locally or via MOBIUS. 
  • Click on the Prospector image in MOBIUS to search the holdings of libraries in Colorado and Wyoming.

• If you locate an available copy in Prospector:
  • Click the Request it button and follow the instructions.
  • Select MOBIUS - Saint Louis University as the institution with which you are affiliated. 
  • Enter your name and Banner ID number (including the leading zeroes).
  • Select your preferred SLU Library as the Pickup Location.
