Getting the library books you need: Tips from library Staff

 

KCAI belongs to the MOBIUS library consortium of over 60 academic libraries in Missouri.  KCAI students and faculty are able to initiate requests for books online, enabling you to borrow from any MOBIUS member-library.  If available, your item(s) will be delivered to Jannes Library for you to check out.  In order to borrow from other libraries, you must have a borrower’s account at KCAI’s Jannes Library, and your library account must be in good standing (no overdues or fines owed).  When placing an online request, you need to know your KCAI ID number, and that KCAI is a member of the “Kansas City” cluster. Searching for Library Books

 

KCAI’s library catalog offers these options: 

·        Searching the KCAI Jannes Library Collection: this is the default search when using the Library Catalog

·        Expanding your search to include all 60+ MOBIUS libraries throughout Missouri. This search will include the UMKC Miller Nichols Library.   Select the “MOBIUS” button.

·        Requesting MOBIUS Books  Use the “Request” button or link to place a request for books from other libraries found on KANSAS CITY or MOBIUS.
