In most cases a citation with an abstract but not the full text of an article, is provided. Database searches are done by appointment and in most cases the requestor should be present for the search. Search request forms are available at the desk in the Engineering Library. The Engineering Library has a staffed copy center open most of the hours the Engineering Library is open. For times when the copy center is closed, coin-operated machines are available.
Transparencies are also available.
The copy center accepts cash, checks, and charges to University accounts for purchases . The Engineering Library places on reserve reading only those materials brought in by faculty or teaching assistants and books owned by the MSU Libraries. The Engineering Library is not able to make copies of materials to be placed on reserve. Because of the amount of material published, it is not always possible to purchase all the materials that are requested. This is particularly true of new journal titles.
