Here's what you need to know before visiting the
University Libraries. We also provide support online for GVSU

Some library systems will be offline from June 24th until June
29th for software upgrades. Physical materials can be
searched at https://www.gvsu.edu/library/findbooks.
Requesting, and checking out physical materials will not be available
at that time, although articles, e-books, e-journals, and streaming
videos will continue to be available. Learn more about
the Library Services Platform Migration.
