The Catalog is the definitive place for finding materials held by the U-M Library.
Your results will include everything in our physical collection (books, audio, video, maps, musical scores, archival materials, and more), as well as materials available online such as electronic books, streaming audio and video, and online journals.
If you find a book that the University of Michigan Libraries does not own, you can make an Interlibrary Loan request. This is a free service for all U-M faculty, staff, and students!
