How do I know if a book (or journal) is available on campus?

Michigan Law students have access to materials from both the Law Library (umil.iii.com/) and the University Library (search.lib.umich.edu/catalog). Search both catalogs to determine if the title you want is on campus.

When a title is not available on campus, the next step is to find it on WorldCat (umil.iii.com/record=e1000390) and submit an Interlibrary Loan request.

See this handy flowchart to determine whether you've exhausted your search on campus.

How do I request an ILL book through WorldCat?

When you find a title on WorldCat, use the Interlibrary Loan Requests link to make your request (see image). This will autopopulate the request page with the necessary information.
