Hello!
This is a guide to the many resources and services available to Extension personnel and Educators in Michigan. It is intended for you to be able to easily locate and utilize electronic and print resources. Mostly electronic resources are identified and linked in, but there may be many other applicable items in print and can be requested through interlibrary loan.
If you know of a resource or a need that is not addressed here, please contact Suzanne.
All MSU personnel can use and request Library materials.
If you are more than 50 miles away from MSU, please register in ILLiad as a Distance User. Link: ILLiad – InterLibrary Loan form.
You will need the barcode number on your employee ID to register in ILLiad.
First - search the MSU Library system. If we don't have the material we can get it for you.
