MSU LIBRARY MATERIALS
Magic is the catalog for all of the MSU libraries and is used to locate books and journals owned by MSU.
• IMPORTANT! - You can only use Magic to find the titles of journals the library owns, not the titles of articles. To find articles you must use a database or electronic journal.
• You can search Magic by Author, Title, Keyword and Subject.
