Peer Research Assistants
Library help in your dorm (or a dorm near you)!
Writing Center

Guides and Tutorials
Your question may already be covered on one of the many guides created by librarians. View them above.

Don't actually need the entire volume? Use this service to request single article or book chapter scans from journals or books.
Request books and other materials that aren't currently available at MSU Libraries OR have a status such as "library use only".

The Murray and Hong Special Collections unit houses special and rare primary source materials and archival collections within the main library.
To view materials from Special Collections you'll need to register for an account, place your request for the item, and then make an appointment in the reading room to view the item.

Zotero is a free reference management tool used to collect, format, and organize citations from different sources.
There is a Zotero team at the MSU Libraries that is available to assist with troubleshooting and answer questions you might have about the software. (Fun fact: Andrea is on the Zotero team!)
Every semester, the Zotero team holds two online workshops that are open to the public to learn how to use the software.
