Where Can I Study?

In spite of all the digital content, sometimes you want a print book or a quiet place to study. If you're not close to campus, you have other options! As a SLU student you have access to university and college libraries in St. Louis and across Missouri (as well as select libraries in Iowa and Oklahoma) through the MOBIUS consortium. Use your SLU ID to gain access to the library at Wash U, UMSL, Maryville, Mizzou and more. Check out books directly from the libraries using your SLU ID and banner number. Use the MOBIUS Catalog to find out what books are available where.

Not in Missouri? Your local public library, public university library or community college library are options. Public university and community college libraries are open to the public and while you won't have special access as a SLU student, you will be able to use the library. Sometimes these libraries even have borrowing programs for community members to check out books.
