University Libraries

Search for articles, books & more    


If you are affiliated with GVSU, you can check out books from over 250 Michigan libraries that participate in the MichiCard program. Two important things to note:

  • To check out items from other MichiCard libraries, you need to get a MichiCard sticker from one of the GVSU libraries. Ask about this at any service desk.
  • You must physically go to another library to check out items from other MichiCard libraries. If this is inconvenient or impractical for you, try MeLCat - you can request that books be delivered here to GVSU, at no cost.

If you are not affiliated with GVSU, you are still welcome to use materials at the University Libraries. You may qualify for a MichiCard, if your home library is affiliated with the program.

To use your MichiCard at the GVSU Libraries, you must:

  • be at least 18 years old
  • have a MichiCard-stickered library card from a particpating public or academic library
  • present a picture ID
  • present current address
  • fill out a brief application form

The University Libraries have specific lending policies for MichiCard patrons.
