Welcome to the North Dakota State University Libraries Website

As the new fall semester begins, NDSU Libraries continue to enhance our website, journal lists, and online catalog, all designed to make your information discovery more intuitive and transparent:

• A list of our most requested databases can be found at http://library.ndsu.edu/find-article. Older journal articles housed in our storage Annex may be ordered via an online form (http://library.ndsu.edu/library-services-index/documentdelivery/pull-service) and will be emailed to you free in pdf format.
• Librarians have created new online LibGuides (http://guides.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/index.php) covering subjects, resources and services to help you with your classroom and research assignments.
• Also new this fall, you can now electronically reserve a group study room in the Main Library (see http://screencast.com/t/PBvsEjsbS0k for instructions).

Through October, we invite your feedback regarding our website, so please take a few minutes to complete our brief survey (https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZNK8WC3).  Your thoughts and comments will help us further enhance the website’s design and usability.

Please explore the Libraries virtually from anywhere, including your residence hall, home or office.  Feel free to visit us in person at the Main Library or at our Branches or other locations (see http://guides.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/hoursandlocations for hours).  Schedule a research session with one of the subject librarians, or ask a question at our reference desks, via IM or through email.  And be sure to take advantage of our interlibrary loan services, making resources available to you that NDSU Libraries do not currently own.

I welcome your questions or your ideas on how we can better support your learning, teaching and research.

Have a great academic year!
