What if you want something that FLITE doesn't have?

If you can't find physical materials through FLITE, we have another option! MeLCat, is a system where most Michigan libraries throughout the state share their materials with each other.

  1. Visit mel.org and use the search bar to search for the item you are looking for.
  2. When you see the book you want, click the "Get This From MeLCat" button.
  3. Select "Ferris State University" from the dropdown menu and enter your information.
  4. If you receive a message that your request was successful, you will receive an email when the materials arrive at FLITE.

 

We also have another system, often better to use for articles that FLITE doesn't have access to. It's called our Interlibrary Loan system. That's where libraries loan materials throughout the country and sometimes the world. Because of this, there can be a delay for physical materials, but our electronic lending program can often provide you the material in a matter of days.
