On Monday, August 17, the Reuther Library QuickSearch is being retired. QuickSearch was a locally developed application that has served the university for many years, but its aging codebase and limited documentation have made it increasingly difficult to maintain.

While we work on integrating discovery systems into Summon, the primary discovery search we plan to use in the future, our collections can be searched separately using the tabbed search box near the top of our website.  read more »

There are some hours left in Wayne State University's annual "Giving Day." If you have the means and you'd like to support the Walter P. Reuther Library specifically, we've created a page for you to do just that! Any and all proceeds will go towards a project to post digitized versions of WSU Yearbooks from our University collections.

Please consider donating to this worthy cause, and click this link to start.

Taken from a series of the presently unprocessed Ron Williams Papers, this online resource spans back issues of the Detroit Metro Times from its inception in October 1980 through late September 1995.

Please enjoy this resource on our Digital Collections platform, which is available now at this web address: https://wayne.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/metrotimes  read more »
