 Hello, I'm Kenning Arlich, Dean of the MSU Library. We take pride in our ability to grow at the times by embracing new technologies and adapting innovative new services and resources. Thank you for taking the time to explore the library. We are here to help students like you, and I'm glad you will become a Bobcat. So let's take a look at what makes our library a great resource for your academic program. People are a big part of the MSU Library, and we offer numerous ways for you to connect. To help you get a solid start on your research, librarians and staff are available in person via email and via the interactive chat service. The Ask the Library feature on our website shows you how to get in touch. In addition to our robust physical collection, we are an online gateway to essential information databases in your major. These are available from your dorm room, your favorite coffee shop, or you can come in and use one of our many public computers to access them. Use specialized software or print out projects and papers. Tech checkouts at our service desk allow you to borrow laptops, go-pros, cameras, and other new and old school tech items. The MSU Library is a welcoming and inclusive place for students. We offer a variety of spaces that are great for quiet studying, group work, or casual meetings. The library is more than just a place for research. We are a hub for the MSU community to meet up and chat over a coffee, browse for a new read, or enjoy a quiet place to relax. We are looking forward to next year and the opportunities it holds. While you may not be able to be here yet, we are saving a seat for you. I'll see you soon at the MSU Library.
