MavScholar is a simple, fast way to search through the library's resources, including over a million items of media! This includes books, ebooks, articles, movies, and more.

First, click on the “Available Online” link under the title. Look for links that say "PDF" or "Full text." It's possible the link might not be working right. In this case, contact a librarian.

MavScholar is now the MSU Library Catalog. Our MavScholar Books & Media search has many similar features to the traditional library catalog.
