Libraries

Welcome to the library!

The M State library is here to support you during your time at M State, offering everything from research assistance to tutoring to help finding a great book to read. And, if library staff can't help you, we'll locate the person on campus who can. We strive to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment committed to embracing, nurturing and developing independent learners.

Resources

M State LibGuides are developed by the librarian to help students, faculty and staff find library and online resources for their courses. LibGuides also feature links to open educational resources (OERs). Students and faculty can request the creation of new guides for courses or specific research topics by contacting M State library staff.
