While visiting a UM library, citizen users may use a Guest Kiosk to access all electronic resources. Complete instructions are available at the Kiosk.

Printing is not available for guests; however, there are options for downloading and sending content from the Guest Kiosk.

A stand-alone scanner may also be available for scanning print material and sending it to an email address.  Check with the library's service desk.
