Library Resources

Find Your Personal Librarian
For every major at the university, there is a librarian assigned to help with collection support, research consultations, and instruction help. Book an appointment or email your librarian for help at any stage of the research process. We can't wait to work with you!
Predatory Publishing Resources
Predatory publishers come in many different shapes and sizes. From unsolicited e-mails to lack of peer review, predatory publishers look to entice researchers with quick and easy publishing solutions. This guide will provide tools and resources to help you determine which publishers to avoid.
Archives & Special Collections
The Department of Archives & Special Collections contains archival papers, photographs, films, and sound recordings related to Mississippi, the Blues, the University of Mississippi, and the American South. The four units within the department are General Special Collections, the Blues Archive, the Visual Collections, and the Modern Political Archive. Please schedule an appointment before visiting the Archives archivesdept@olemiss.edu
Government Documents
In 2018, our library received the "Best in the Nation" award for government documents. To find government information, search the UM Library Catalog or Government Documents Databases or Government Information Guides. A federal depository since 1883, the Library is the Regional Federal Depository for Mississippi and holds the largest federal documents collection in the state. It is also a Mississippi state documents depository. We receive all government publications distributed through the U.S. Federal Depository Library Program (Title 44, USC) and through the Mississippi State Depository Program.
AICPA Library
In 2017, AICPA Librarian, Dr. Royce Kurtz, received the "Lifetime Achievement" award from Accounting Historians for his work in preserving materials for AICPA. He is the only non-accountant to receive this award. The University of Mississippi Library provides access to the AICPA library collection via its online library catalog and the Digital Accounting Collection. Members of the AICPA may borrow books from the circulating collection. While only students and faculty at UM have direct access to the online databases and electronic journals, the AICPA Library staff will conduct searches in these products for AICPA members. Anyone may use the library catalog or eGrove to find AICPA collections.

Interlibrary Loan

Interlibrary Loan
Interlibrary Loan services give graduate students access to books and articles not available in the University Libraries collections. This is a free service. Article requests are typically processed and received within 48 hours. Print book requests take longer because they are mailed, but e-books can be requested through ILL, if available.
Contact Interlibrary Loan
Call 662-915-5867 or stop by the West Circulation Desk (1st floor) 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. M-F.
Request Articles and Books NOT TEXTBOOOKS
Sorry, but the library is unable to borrow required class textbooks through Interlibrary Loan.

Checking Out Books

You are allowed to check out as many library books as you want, but your loan period as a graduate student is 16 weeks. You can renew books up to 3 times online in your My Library Account. As a graduate student, you may check out books at the J.D. Williams Library and the Science library. (Note: The Science Library houses books with the following subjects: pharmacy, chemistry, biochemistry, and materials related to the natural products center). You may return books to either location as well as an outside "Book Drop" metal bin located on the corner of Dormitory Row North and Dormitory Row West (near Weir Hall). Please do not return videos or Interlibrary Loan materials to the book drop - always bring them to the library to check in.
