The library is open 94 hours per week and is accessible, physically and through adaptive equipment and software, to those with disabilities.

Passports is available worldwide 24/7 to Webster???s students, faculty, and staff worldwide from campus, home, or office. Passports includes the library???s online catalog, over 100 databases with access to over 23,000 full-text journals and other resources, and online services such as electronic reserves, document delivery, video reservations, and reference assistance. The library is a charter member of MOBIUS, which is a statewide consortium of 60 university and colleges and two large public library systems in Missouri. Students and faculty in Missouri have direct borrowing privileges (either electronically or in-person) at all of these libraries, whose combined collection totals over 25 million volumes. A daily delivery system and cooperative collection development make this a key resource for students and faculty. For materials not owned by the MOBIUS institutions, the library offers interlibrary loan from libraries through OCLC.
