Tips for Using Library Search

You can email records or citations to your umich account with a few clicks. 

• Log into your library account.
• Select a single record or multiple records by putting a check mark next to a title or titles.
• You have created a temporary list. Click on that list to see your options for emailing.

• From the temporary list page, click on the Email icon. Your umich email address should be displayed. Click on the Send Email button to send the citations from the system to you.

The resulting email will include record information (title, author, library location, call number, etc.) and/or links to the record so that you can access more details or the full text of a specific work.

With a simple copy/paste, you can capture formatted citations for items you find in Library Catalog Search or Articles Search results.

• Display the complete record for an item or article you want to cite.
• At the top of the record click on the "Citation" image. A pop-up box will appear.

• In the pop-up box, select the specific citation style you would like to use (e.g. APA, MLA).

• Copy the citation (CTRL + C; Command + C), and then paste it into your Google or Word document.
• Close on the "Close" button to return to your Library Search record.
