What will learning look like in the next century? As teaching moves beyond books to include “intelligent” networks, multi-media textbooks and caffeine-fueled online collaboration, K-State libraries are navigating that future now.
A powerful 21st century resource
We’ve moved beyond the book! Students now have K-State library access to 3-D printers, virtual reality, multi-media equipment and much more as they prepare for a lifetime of success in our connected world.
Though K-State Libraries is a 21st century library system, the central mission to support teaching and research has not changed from its beginning.
How you can invest in the heart of the university:
- Collections. K-State Libraries align their collections of online and printed resources with the university’s teaching and research priorities.
- Facilities. Libraries must continuously upgrade and redesign facilities, so they are flexible and functional for current and future generations.
- Other opportunities. Opportunities include position endowments, support for digital initiatives, research scholarships and professional development.
Serving the whole campus
K-State Libraries provide expertise, research assistance and 21st-century technology for students and faculty.
