How do I search for materials at Spring Arbor University's White Library?

All the materials (books, videos, etc.) available for check out at the White Library are listed in the Library Catalog. Access the catalog from here or return to the Library Services page and select the Library Catalog link.

No, off-campus students do not have to have a physical Library Card. Your SAU Student ID number is used for checking out materials. For details on the circulation of materials, see the Library Services section of this website.

The library subscribes to several journal databases that allow students to search for citations and access some full-text articles. You may access the databases from here or by returning to the Library Services page and selecting the Article Databases link.

There are several options for requesting materials from the library-

*Library Phone Number 1-800-968-9103, ext. 1742 (library circulation desk)

*Library Fax Number 1-517-750-2108

*Off-Campus Librarian, Roy Meador, ext. 1444

You may also email requests directly to the SAU Interlibrary Loan office. Please remember to provide a complete bibiographic citation with your requests. This helps the library serve you better. Make sure you include your name, ID number, address and any other contact information you think we may need. Requested materials will be sent to students' homes or by email when possible.

Articles do not need to be returned, but books, CDs, DVDs, etc., must be returned. A return label will be included; students are responsible for return postage. Please return your materials on time to avoid any overdue fines.

When White Library does not own the items needed, students may request materials through Interlibrary Loan, a cooperative sharing system among libraries nationwide.
Requests may be made as noted above (How do I request materials from the library?). Or, students may contact the Interlibrary Loan technician as follows:

Katherine (Kami) Moyer, Interlibrary Loan Technician
Phone: 1-800-968-9103, ext. 1439 E-Mail: kmoyer@arbor.edu

Please allow additional time for obtaining Interlibrary Loan materials. It generally takes from 7-14 days to get these items, which are sent directly to students' homes. Articles do not have to be returned, but books must. A return label will be included; students are responsible for return postage. Please return books on time. Fines are assessed for overdue Interlibrary Loans.
