Show-Me
The World takes Missourians around the state and around the globe
Public librarians in Missouri live by their state's “Show-Me” motto—they don't talk about virtual libraries, they show you one.

Called Show-Me The World, the two-year-old virtual library program uses WorldCat to connect users with information in the state's libraries and beyond. Full story
Tooling
libraries with a wider world of information: An interview with Sara Ann
Parker, State Librarian, Missouri
Show-Me The World gives public libraries the tools with which to offer their patrons a much wider world of information resources than their locally held collections.
