Welcome to the library!

Welcome to the M State library! We're here to help and support you during your academic journey with everything from research help, finding a great new book to read, to locating the right person on campus if we cannot help. We strive to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment committed to embracing, nurturing, and developing independent learners. Read below for all the different ways to contact us.

Resource links

M State LibGuides

LibGuides (or Library Guides) are subject guides developed by librarians to help students, faculty and staff find library and online resources for their courses more easily. M State’s LibGuides also feature curated collections of links to open educational resources (OERs). Students and faculty can request the creation of new guides for courses or specific research topics by reaching out to M State library staff.
