Beth Fisher is the new executive director of the Missouri Bibliographic Information User System, or MOBIUS, a collection of the academic libraries of 68 colleges and universities in Missouri.

Fisher succeeds George Rickerson, who is now associate vice president for administrative applications for the University of Missouri System. Fisher’s annual salary will be $110,800.

Fisher came to MOBIUS from Virginia Polytechnic University, where she was the associate director for the information technology acquisitions department.

The largest project for MOBIUS is the Common Library Platform, a virtual collection of about 14 million items from the institutions’ libraries. The Common Library Platform allows faculty and students to request library items from any personal computer anywhere with Internet access. The materials are then delivered within one to two days.
