Articles - Refresher

Articles contain the most current information published in a field of study. The Library Catalog contains the journal titles to all of the print and electronic format journals to which we subscribe. The Catalog does not list the articles within the journals. Articles are in article databases.

Popular, Scholarly, and Trade Article Comparison Chart
A chart comparing the differences between these three article types.

UlrichsWeb This link opens in a new window
If you are still uncertain about the scholarly nature of a journal, you may look up the title or ISSN in the periodical database UlrichsWeb (Ulrich 's International Periodicals Directory). It contains subscription, publisher, ISSN and other information on 250,000 active and ceased serials worldwide: magazines, journals, annuals and more.

UBorrow, Remote Storage Requests, and ILL

Uborrow
If a book-type item you're looking for is not held by MSU Libraries or is checked out, try Uborrow, the consortium of Big 10 libraries. You can access Uborrow though either our catalog [Check other Libraries button] or directly at this link. If the item is there, you will be prompted to log into your Illiad account to place the request. Uborrow books generally arrive in about 5 business days, with a 12 week checkout period. One 4 week renewal is permitted. Checkout periods vary for other types of materials.
Remote Storage Requests
When an item you want has the location 'Remote Storage', use this form to have the item brought to you on campus. You will need to type or cut&paste the item's information into the form, so it may be easier to have the form and item record open ins separate tabs or windows..
ILLIAD - Interlibrary Loan Requests
ILLIAD is the Interlibrary loan system for articles, books, government documents, and other materials. It is used to process MARS and UBorrow requests, and for items not held at MSU Libraries. For questions about ILLIAD and placing requests, please consult the ILLIAD FAQs. First-time requesters will need to register and create a password, about a 2-3 minute process, after which you can begin immediately to place requests.
Search Other Libraries
If you want to search UBorrow or other interlibrary loan services for books, media, and other tangible items, you can search and place requests here.
MelCat offline for a bit
MeLCat Borrowing and Lending will be suspended while the MSU Libraries undergoes the significant software transition. It will return as soon as possible.
You can still use MelCat through your public library access (CADL, ELPL, etc.).
