About the Libraries (for Distance Education Students)
The Libraries of the University of Missouri-St. Louis offer a wide variety of resources for current faculty, staff, and students without having to come to the library in person. This includes over 150 databases, thousands of full text journals, and access to the holdings of the MOBIUS Union Catalog. If a journal isn't available, you can request that selected articles be delivered to you electronically. Within the state of Missouri you can request a book from any MOBIUS member library and have it delivered to the nearest MOBIUS Library to you.

We also offer "ready reference" help by telephone at the Thomas Jefferson Library (314) 516-5060 and at the Ward Barnes Library (314) 516-5576. In addition, librarians can answer brief reference questions by email, and can even do lengthier Research Consultations on a specific topic by email, chat or in-person.
