The Library publications record group includes bibliographies, reports, manuals, brochures, maps, guides, handouts, newsletters, posters, information packets, and other publications and ephemera produced by the University of Michigan Library system.

The University of Michigan Library Publications records group consists of four series: University Library, 1916-2006; Divisional Libraries, 1881-2001; Library Development, ca 1965-2002; and Library Instructional Handouts Set, 1991-1999.

Researchers should note that, with the exception of Illuminator (in the Library Development series), all of the newsletters in the record group are more or less incomplete. More complete runs of certain titles, notably University Library Update, University of Michigan Librarian, and University of Michigan Library Newsletter, are held at the Harlan Hatcher Graduate Library. The University Library System also retains numerous additional library publications within its collections that are not included in this records group. Finally, some University of Michigan library publications (including the three newsletters named above) are catalogued separately within the Bentley Historical Library's holdings.
