Request and retrieve items at our pickup lockers at Dafoe and Health Sciences Libraries or at any open library location.
Scan on demand service is available for print materials and we will obtain electronic copies of materials wherever possible for those who are not in Winnipeg through the end of the Winter Term.
Digital collections
The Libraries continues to provide access to 5.2 million e-books, and over 30,000 electronic journals through Library Search in addition to the 1.5 million print volumes in our collection.
With UM physical collections now open, in-copyright print items available at the libraries will no longer be accessible through the HathiTrust Digital Library. Instructors using this part of the collection with UMLearn have been contacted to make other arrangements.
More than two million public domain titles are still available from HathiTrust and are discoverable via your Library search.
