Tips and Hints

If you get no results

• Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
• Try different, fewer, or more general keywords.
• If you are searching for books, journals, electronic resources or other materials owned or licensed by the University Library, search Mirlyn.
• If you are looking for articles or other resources, use Search Tools to search several databases and indexes at once. If you're looking for a particular electronic database or index, use Search Tools' Find Databases Page.

Finding more specific pages

The University Library web space contains web sites for many different libraries and units. For best results using this page, try to be specific. If looking for hours Graduate Library, make sure to include ALL those words. Just entering hours will show many pages.

Searching for phrases

To search for phrases and be even more specific, use quotes around the phrase, such as "undergraduate library hours".

What Search Does Not Do....

The search engine only searches pages under the domain www.lib.umich.edu. UM Library sites with a different web domain will not show up in your search.
