Reference Services
A team of faculty reference librarians specializing in information science and diverse subject areas provides information, instruction, and guidance on retrieving all types of information. We help with the use of all library resouces and technology, while promoting information literacy and enabling lifelong learning. We serve the MSU community, the citizens of Montana, and others. Talk with us at the Reference Desk (located on the first floor of the Renne Library) or contact us via telephone, text, email, chat, IM, or by appointment.
