Mississippi State University (MSU) Libraries serves as a dynamic hub for research, learning, resource discovery, and community engagement. Our mission is to empower students, faculty, staff, and community members by providing access to an extensive range of print and digital resources as well as unique spaces and tools that inspire learning, teaching, creativity, and research. Guided by data-guided decision-making, we strive to create meaningful connections and opportunities that support the holistic development of our users.

Our talented team of faculty and staff bring expertise in diverse areas, including information and data literacy, archives and special collections, emerging technologies, innovative research methodologies, and evolving forms of scholarly communication. Through their dedication, we aim to cultivate a vibrant, welcoming environment where exploration and discovery thrive.

We are proud to partner with campus organizations, local communities, and state institutions to foster collaborations that directly enhance student and faculty success. Your feedback and ideas are invaluable to us. Please share how MSU Libraries can better serve the university and the people of Mississippi.
