Get started

You can start using the Web Components and design tokens immediately by adding this stylesheet and these script tags to the <head>: 

<link href="https://unpkg.com/@umich-lib/web@1/umich-lib.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<script type="module" src="https://unpkg.com/@umich-lib/web@1/dist/umich-lib/umich-lib.esm.js"></script>
<script nomodule src="https://unpkg.com/@umich-lib/web@1/dist/umich-lib/umich-lib.js"></script>

Use this design system across any framework or no framework at all. We accomplish this by using standardized web platform APIs. We love HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
