MERLIN is a member of and cluster within the larger MOBIUS Library Consortium in Missouri, as well as a distinct consortium itself. MERLIN refers specifically to the four University of Missouri system campuses: University of Missouri- Columbia, University of Missouri- Kansas City, University of Missouri- St. Louis, and Missouri University of Science & Technology. The consortium includes two law schools and two medical schools, as well as the State Historical Society and the Western Historical Manuscript Collection.
