Services for Students from Kresge Library

With the beginning of Fall Term just around the corner, it is a good time to share an updated two-page guide that we have highlighting some of the services that we offer students at the Ross School of Business.  We have also made it easier to find services for students on our newly designed website.  If you can't find what you are looking for, be sure to contact us with any information-related question you might have.  

6th Annual Kresge Library Services Food Drive

From Friday March 31st through Friday June 2, 2017 Kresge Library Services will be hosting our 6th annual food drive for Washtenaw County food banks.  Each year during our food drives,  we have collected over 50 boxes of food thanks to the generosity of the Ross Community.  Donations include: 

• Non-perishable food products 
•  Contained in factory-sealed containers
• Currently not expired products
• Not in glass containers (most food banks avoid these as they can break in transit)
• Sealed, non used personal products (razors, tooth paste, diapers, shampoo, soap etc)

Please drop off donations on the Kresge Library Services suite (K4521) on the 4th floor of Kresge Hall, or at the front desk in the Winter Garden. 

Kresge Library is on the Move! (Again)

Starting this Friday, July 22, Kresge Library Services will be on the move to our newly renovated space on the 4th floor of the Kresge Building! The Library will open to the Ross Community on September 6, 2016.

Kresge Catalog - New Look in July 1

The Kresge Catalog, our searchable database of our electronic resource titles (or 'stuff we have access to'), will get a new look starting July 1. This new catalog will allow users to search for electronic resources - ebooks, ejournals, databases - available to the Ross Community.

You can get a sneak preview of the new interface right now. This slimmed down version provides separate tabs for searching only ebooks and only ejournals, as well as the entire set of resources.

Remember, Kresge Library is not alone! To find even more resources available to you at the University, be sure to check MIRLYN too.

Let us help you find it! If you need any help with the resources, including tracking down an ejournal or an ebook, Email us at kresge_library@umich.edu or fill out our Contact Us form.

The change in catalog systems was necessitated by our move from a collection of physical items to a collection of electronic only resources. The old system provided functionality for a collection of physical items and became cost prohibitive to maintain for our new collection.

Library Catalog is Down

The library catalog is currently experiencing technical difficulties.  We will have service restored as it is available.  Information similar to that of the catalog can be found using the following:

• MIRLYN: http://mirlyn.lib.umich.edu/
• ebooks page: http://www.bus.umich.edu/kresgelibrary/resources/ebooks.htm
• Journal Locator: http://yn5xu7ws4r.search.serialssolutions.com/?L=YN5XU7WS4R&tab=JOURNALS
