MiLE ( Michigan Library Exchange) is an Interlibrary Loan system that
allows us to share books among libraries in most of Macomb, Oakland,
Washtenaw, and Wayne counties.
- If you cannot find a book you want at the Halle Library you may
search the MiLE catalog and request the book directly from other libraries.
- All types of materials are part of the catalog (videos, journals,
etc.) but only books can be requested.
- All students, staff and faculty may requests books through MiLE.
- Courtesy card patrons may search the MiLE catalog but cannot
request materials. Courtesy card patrons should use their local
public library.
- EMU has reciprocal agreements with some of the participating
libraries and many are members of MichiCard
so you might be able to go to another library and borrow other
materials directly.
- You may not borrow books already owned by the Halle Library.
- Books are delivered to the Halle Library via a van service on Wednesday
and Friday.
- You will be notified via email when your book(s) arrive at the
Halle Library. Be sure you enter your email correctly on the request
form.
- All books are checked out at the Reception Desk. All books must
be returned to the Reception Desk within two weeks.
- Sorry, there are no renewals.
Procedure
- When you connect to the MiLE catalog, select Eastern Michigan
University as your home library.
- When prompted for your library card number, which is encoded on
your University ID, enter your Barcode number.

Each time you replace your Eagle ID card
the third digit is increased by 1.
All Other OLD Eagle ID Card Holders:

Each time you replace your Eagle ID card
the third digit is increased by 1.
