Library Resources
Many course readings are already provided at MSU as digital content or in books that students have purchased. If you have any materials that are only available as physical hard copies and which students do not already own, please contact the library in order to develop a digital strategy.
There is a central page for services for online and off campus students and faculty. Services include mailing library books directly to you or your students, troubleshooting Libraries e-resources and databases, and help creating stable links to those resources.
Subject specialist librarians are happy to help find library resources for your classes and to get those materials linked in D2L for your students. One of the easiest ways to provide this assistance is for you to make your subject specialist librarian an editor in your course. To find your subject librarian, please see our list at https://lib.msu.edu/contact/subjectlibrarian. Librarians are also happy to discuss any other ways that they can support your teaching and learning needs.
Our Course Materials program can help if you have materials that need to be transitioned from print to digital.
Interlibrary loan access will continue to be provided. We will provide desktop delivery and mail materials to you if needed.
We have reference services available for students and faculty via chat, 24/7: https://lib.msu.edu/contact/askalib/
The Main Library will remain open, though we are moving to summer semester hours, which are reduced. Some internal branches will be closed, including Maps, Art, Music, and the Digital and Multimedia Center. The Business Library, Gull Lake Library and MSU Archives will be closed as of 5 p.m. on Friday, March 13. They will reopen on April 20. Materials located in those spaces may be paged for use, but you should contact Patron Services in advance of your visit if you need materials from those spaces.
