MLibrary Labs is where the University of Michigan Library shows off some tools that are not quite ready for prime time. These are all experiments and may behave unexpectedly. We want you to try them out and -- most important -- let us know what you think by sending an email to mlibrary-labs@umich.edu.
An RSS feed for this page is also available. [About RSS]
For information about public access computers, please see the computing help page.
Want to stay current on what's going on in the Library? The RSS Feed Browser gathers many of the library's rss feeds into a single location. Browse news, events, new items, and more.
Add the MLibrary Search Gadget to your iGoogle page. IGoogle is Google's portal -- it allows you to select various "gadgets" (a module that shows news, weather, email, etc.) and display them on a single page. MLibrary now has a gadget for searching Mirlyn, Search Tools, the library web site, with an Ask Us link included.
Learn about and install the iGoogle MLibrary gadget.
Find a U-M library on a map and see a picture of the building it's located in with our new Library Map application. Get directions to the library of your choice.
The Facebook Mirlyn Search application is even better! Now, Facebook users can post Mirlyn items on their Facebook profile, add items to their Mirlyn "My Shelf" space, and share them with friends within Facebook. If you already added this application to your Facebook account, you already have the new version.
The new Facebook Library Hours application lets you add the hours for your favorite UM library to your profile so you can always see when your "home" library opens and closes.
Search plug-ins allow you to add collections to the search box in the upper right of many web browsers. These plug-ins allow you to search Mirlyn, OAIster, or Deep Blue directly from your browser.
Learn about and install these search plug-ins.
Now you can search Mirlyn from within Facebook! To add this tool to your Facebook profile, click Mirlyn Search Tool.
Have you ever found the perfect book at Amazon and wanted to see if it was available through Mirlyn? Found an article citation on a web page and wanted to get a full-text copy? The LibX Toolbar is for Firefox only and will not work in Internet Explorer, Safari, or any other browser.
Learn more or go get LibX.
Want to search across the world's libraries all at once for a particular item? Try the OCLC WorldCat search. It will search across thousands of libraries' catalogs, showing you those libraries that have the item you're looking for -- sorted by proximity to wherever you are.
Give WorldCat a try.
The University Library frequently tests new information resources. These can be found in Search Tools or in Library News.
