The Libraries' online catalog and Encore interface will not be available on Wednesday, July 25 due to system maintenance. This will include the FindText@MSU service on library electronic resources and the MSU Access on Google Scholar.
During that time, you can search MSU Libraries' holdings through MeLCat. To limit your MeLCat search to MSU holdings only, add "ZA006" to your keyword search (our agency code on MeLCat.) For example,
biodiversity ZA006
Thank you for your patience while we perform necessary system maintenance.
