Resource links
M State LibGuides: LibGuides
LibGuides are developed by the College Librarian 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.
Search Databases: A-Z Database List
Find articles, videos, eBooks and more in our database collection. M State students should be able to access databases from off-campus by logging into SpartanNet first or entering your StarID and password when prompted.
Search the Library Collection: Catalog search
Look for books or articles available at M State libraries or state-wide. Place requests for books held by other libraries by signing in with your StarID and password and filling out the request form.
