MSU Libraries have an expanding research collection of more than 4,000,000 volumes and new technologies that are housed in the main library and in 13 branch libraries. More than 28,000 separate serial titles are received regularly, with excellent representation in all areas of psychology. All government and United Nations publications plus selected Canadian documents are kept in the Documents Collection. The Special Collections Division houses approximately 250,000 volumes, including the library's collection of rare books. Specialized branch libraries are located in several classroom buildings.

Computing Services

The MSU Computer Laboratory provides computer support for university teaching and research, and includes network support, computer consulting, computing and technology training, and a Multimedia Graphics Design Lab. The Psychology Research Building is directly linked to university computing services via an ethernet connection, giving us online access to the university library catalogue, PsychInfo, and the Internet.

The Campus

The property holdings of MSU at East Lansing number 5,198 acres (map). Of this total, some 2,100 acres are in existing or planned campus development; the remaining acres are devoted to experimental farms, outlying research facilities, and natural areas. Major buildings number about 150 on the contiguous campus; there are 33 miles of roadways and 99 miles of walkways.

The MSU campus forms a park-like setting; campus plantings, including some 7,000 kinds of trees, shrubs, and vines, serve as a vast collection for research, teaching, and observation in horticulture, landscape architecture, botany, and forestry. The MSU gardens include the W. J. Beal Botanical Garden (with more than 3,000 plant species and varieties) next to the main library.
