Use UM Libraries for Your Research
Books and other resources from the J.D. Williams Library and the Science Library located on the Oxford campus are available to students on UM regional campuses. Log in to Interlibrary Loan to make direct requests that can be via shuttle services to UM-Booneville, UM-Desoto, UM-Grenada, and UM-Tupelo. The Ole Miss offices on each campus serves as the pickup/drop-off location for your library materials.
RESEARCH TIPS:
Start your research early! Give yourself time to request books and materials from ILL so that you have the best resources for your papers and projects.
Look for eBooks! In most subject areas, eBooks are plentiful. You can search and find specific topics within these books quickly and read them directly on your computer.
Ask for help! Librarians love to help you with your research, and that includes helping you find the sources that you need to help you write great papers. Use the chat or email your subject librarian directly whenever you are not finding the articles and books you need for an assignment.
Save money! Library resources are FREE, so request articles and books early and often.
