The Business Library has reduced hours for summer break, first couple of weeks of classes, and Labor Day Holiday. Our regular fall semester hours begin September 8. See our complete hours here.
The Libraries' online catalog and Encore interface will not be available on Wednesday, July 25 due to system maintenance. This will include the FindText@MSU service on library electronic resources and the MSU Access on Google Scholar.
