MeLCat - MeLCat is a state-wide catalog of books, videos, CDs, DVDs and more. Participating MeLCat libraries have agreed to share their materials, creating a resource sharing system for the entire state of Michigan. Some materials that are not generally available through traditional interlibrary loan are available through MeLCat. These include videos, DVDs and CDs.

Holders of either a Tech Express card or a J. Robert Van Pelt Library Courtesy card may use the MeLCat resource sharing system. Patron accounts must be in good standing with no outstanding fines and fees. Check Borrower Services and MeLCat FAQ for more information. 

 


Open WorldCat (WorldCat.org) -

RedLightGreen, based on the RLG (Research Library Group) Union Catalog, has been integrated into Open WorldCat's services.
