Q. How do I request a book that the library does not have?

1. Before requesting a book through MOBIUS or ILLiad, please make sure it is not available in a campus library by searching the WU Libraries Catalog.

2. Use MOBIUS to borrow books from other academic libraries in Missouri. Most books are available for pickup at the WU Library of your choice usually within 3-7 days. You will receive email notification when your book arrives. You can also use My Catalog to check on the status of your MOBIUS requests. For more detailed information on using MOBIUS, please see below.

3. If the book you want is not available from MOBIUS, please submit a book request through Interlibrary Loan (ILLiad). Books are available for pickup usually within 1-2 weeks at the Olin Library checkout desk. You will be notified by e-mail when the book arrives. For additional information on ILLiad, please see below.

The Law Library and Becker Medical Library process Interlibrary Loan materials separately. If you are with one of those Schools, please visit their link above for more details.
