The University Libraries support the educational objectives of the university and meet the teaching, research, and informational needs of the campus community.  House in three locations-the Thomas Jefferson Library and the St. Louis Mercantile Library at UM-St. Louis (North Campus) and the Ward E. Barnes Library (South  Campus)--the Libraries' collections consist of more than one million volumes, 2,900 periodical subscriptions, one million U.S. government documents, over one million items in microform, and numerous special and manuscript collections.

Materials from the libraries of all campuses of the University of Missouri and Saint Louis University can be identified in the MERLIN online catalog. Through the MERLIN catalog, users can request that items at other institutions be transferred to UM-St. Louis to be checked out.  A full range of services, including interlibrary loan, reference assistance, library instruction and access to a large number of databases are also available through the Libraries.
