What do I do if the Evangel University Library does not have the book I need?
You can request books through MOBIUS. MOBIUS is a group of libraries in Missouri, including Evangel University, which share books with each other. If you cannot find the book you want through MOBIUS, the library can attempt to find the book for you through OCLC, a worldwide interlibrary loan (ILL) system.
How do I request a book through Mobius?
