Current EMU students and faculty can use this online form to ask the library to borrow a book from another library. Please check MeLCat first, as MeLCat books arrive more quickly. To request a book, look for the Book link under New Request. The library doesn't borrow textbooks from other libraries through ILLiad.
Tip: If you just need a specific chapter, use the Book Chapter form.

UM Libraries for EMU Students

EMU Students may borrow books and other circulating materials in the University of Michigan Library collections by obtaining a guest borrowers card. This is not an interlibrary loan service, and this guest borrower's card does not give you online access to UM's electronic resources.

First, EMU students must register at the EMU Library Circulation Desk with a current EMU ID card and a U-M Library Card Request Form (see below for the form).

Next, you will be notified by email when your guest borrower's card can be picked up at the Hatcher Graduate Library North Circulation Desk at University of Michigan. Bring a picture ID with you to pick up your card. Borrowing Privileges and library cards for EMU students and staff are valid for the current term only, and can be renewed by visiting the EMU Library Circulation Desk.

Note that this guest borrower's card does not give you online access to UM's electronic resources, but some of those resources may be available at designated guest computers in the UM Libraries buildings.
