OpenRS
MOBIUS was formed more than 20 years ago to allow libraries to share library materials, services, and information using cost effective and accessible means. Resource sharing continues to be core to our mission and underlines many of the things that we do. Through our OpenRS Union Catalog, shared collections, organizational partnerships, and courier connections our member libraries have access to millions of resources from libraries of all kinds
*Created by the MOBIUS Office, Altoona Public Library, St. Louis County Library, and Lindenwood University
The MOBIUS Union Catalog
The MOBIUS Union Catalog contains more than 30 million items contributed by the 78 MOBIUS member libraries and uses the open source OpenRS resource sharing tool to enable patron initiated requesting and cost effective fulfillment of services. MOBIUS members include public, academic, and special libraries, giving patrons access to a diverse pool of resources.

Courier Network
Through our own MOBIUS courier network, our partnerships with the Iowa Library Alliance, Iowa Rivershare Libraries, and IA Shares, and our connections to Trans-Amigos Express (TAE) and the Mid-America Library Alliance (MALA), our libraries have the ability to share materials quickly and at low cost with hundreds of libraries across seven states: Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas, and Iowa.
