Three libraries provide research services for the University community. They include the McNichols campus library and library media center, the Outer Drive campus library and learning resource center, and the Kresge law library.
Librarians also provide specialized computer literature search services.
The databases contain citations to journal articles, dissertations, patents, technical meetings, and papers and books covering current research in all the academic disciplines. The newest service is WILS, which includes nine online services in art, business, social sciences, science and technology, humanities, and general information that can be searched directly by users. In addition to the resources of the University, Grace Hospital, a part of the Detroit Medical Center, is the host educational site. Located 2 miles from the University, it provides a wealth of clinical resources as a major teaching center with a commitment to serving inner-city residents of Detroit. When applying for financial aid, the student must consider all educational expenses including basic living costs, medical insurance, books and medical equipment, malpractice insurance, professional dues, and transportation.
