Sites for locating online books and ebooks - many freely available

To find and get books, DVDs, CDs, and other formats:

1. Search the Primo or the WU Classic Catalog first.  Why is there more than one catalog?
2. If a book is not available at WU, search the MOBIUS Catalog.

   What is MOBIUS and when will I get the book?

   MOBIUS is a consortium of academic libraries in Missouri. The COOL thing about MOBIUS is that you can transfer your search to the MOBIUS Catalog in one click from the WU Catalogs. MOBIUS requests are filled within 3-7 days. You'll be emailed once the item is available.
3. If the item is not available at WU or MOBIUS, look in WorldCat (FirstSearch) or WorldCat.org

   What is WorldCat and how do I request the item I need?

   WorldCat identifies what items libraries worldwide (mainly US) hold. There are two interfaces WorldCat (FirstSearch) and WorldCat.org. Once you find your item, use the ILLiad link to request the item via Interlibrary Loan. You'll be emailed when the item is available
