Formation
MOBIUS was originally established in 1998 by 50 libraries representing Missouri colleges and universities. The University of Missouri acted as the host institution for the new organization. The name was originally an acronym for Missouri Bibliographic Information User System, although the organization no longer uses it as such. In 2010 MOBIUS left the University of Missouri and became a Missouri not-for-profit corporation.
