McNichols Campus Library & Instructional Design Studio

The McNichols Campus Library is closed to the public per Governor Whitmer's Executive Order.

The Executive Order allows employees to enter the library for employment purposes. Employee access to the library, including the Instructional Design Studio (IDS), will resume on Wednesday, March 18, 2020.

Online library assistance is available 24/7. Please visit us to work with your librarian for research assistance and information literacy instruction. Library faculty are working to keep you up-to-date with library help, various updates, and fact-checking resources.

A majority of the library's resources are available online. Library faculty are available to assist with access and to work with students and faculty to provide options for materials currently held in print format only.

The library will continue to provide ILL service for journal articles, book chapters, and any resources that may be provided electronically.
