MOBIUS
MOBIUS is a consortium of libraries in Missouri and several nearby U.S states. It is based in Columbia, Missouri.
Formation
[edit]MOBIUS was originally established in 1998 by 50 libraries representing Missouri colleges and universities, with the University of Missouri acting as a host institution. The name was originally an acronym for Missouri Bibliographic Information User System,[1] although the organization no longer uses it as such. In 2010 MOBIUS left the University of Missouri and became a Missouri not-for-profit corporation. The Tulsa City-County Library system became the first out-of-state member in 2014.[2]
Membership
[edit]As of 2020[update] the consortium includes 66 academic libraries, 7 public libraries, 3 special libraries, and the Missouri State Library, serving a total of 213 physical branches. The MOBIUS Union Catalog includes over 29 million items. Member libraries extend into Oklahoma, Iowa, Kansas, and Texas.[2]
