William Woods is a charter member of MOBIUS, a statewide consortium of primarily academic libraries. MOBIUS provides William Woods faculty and students with online access and borrowing privileges to twenty-six million items in Missouri’s academic libraries as well as providing detailed information about the library materials housed on the William Woods campus. Books from other academic libraries in Missouri may be borrowed by William Woods students directly via the internet and most are delivered to the William Woods campus within 48 hours. With a current William Woods student ID, students have on-site borrowing privileges at other college libraries in Missouri, including Ellis Library at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Materials not available through the William Woods library or MOBIUS may be requested free through interlibrary loan; a form is available on the library’s website.
The library also houses 30 computers available for student use and Wi-Fi is available throughout the library building. Study rooms with collaboration tables are available in the lower library.
