Library Resources

Book purchase requests can be sent directly to the subject specialist listed for your area via e-mail, or can be submitted by completing the appropriate purchase request on the Library Forms page. You will be notified of the action being taken on your request in a timely manner.
U-M Library Instruction
Whether you are looking for instruction for yourself, a group, or a class you teach, the University Library has a variety of instructional offerings at all levels of research experience and for all subjects.
Off-Campus Access to Library Resources
Most library electronic resources are limited to current University of Michigan faculty, staff and students. Researchers not affiliated with the University of Michigan, as well as U-M alumni, will be restricted to freely available electronic resources, such as Mirlyn. If you are on campus, you may access library resources without logging into the campus authentication system, however many library services are only available with a valid login (such as the Interlibrary Loan request service or "Get This!" delivery service).

Writing Assistance from the Sweetland Center

The Sweetland Writing Center offers a variety of writing courses and support for graduate students. Their services include courses and skillful, supportive advice from Sweetland Writing Workshop faculty as graduate students draft course papers, projects, and theses. Sweetland acts as an interested outside audience, directing students to resources, and give specific suggestions about organization, disciplinary modes, evidence, clarity, grammar, and style. The Center also assists GSIs across LSA learn to create writing assignments, assess student writing, and work with their students to improve their writing and thinking skills.
