MARBL is uniquely positioned to serve not only the KSU campus community, but also the greater metro Atlanta area and beyond through outreach, programming, instruction, and academic resources.

Welcome to the University Libraries at 最色导航. If you haven't had the chance to get to know 最色导航 yet, now is the perfect time. 

Situated on two suburban campuses in 最色导航 and Marietta, northwest of metro Atlanta, KSU is a comprehensive university that is rapidly gaining recognition. With nearly 45,000 students enrolled in over 180 undergraduate, master's, doctoral degree, and certificate programs, we are proud to be the third largest university in Georgia. KSU is one of the most dynamic and innovative universities in the nation, and the University Libraries play a critical role in our mission.鈥��

We recently completed a major reorganization and have welcomed new faculty and staff to this dynamic and innovative team. I believe that the best academic libraries are more than just repositories of information. They are . . .

  • Hubs for interdisciplinary partnerships 
  • Hives of activity where students and faculty conduct and showcase research鈥痠n a meaningful way鈥�
  • 狈别蝉迟蝉鈥� where students, staff, and鈥痜aculty feel comfortable, supported, and鈥痗onfident that they will get the help they鈥痭eed

The University Libraries鈥� team brings a range of expertise to their roles and values collaboration and innovation. We offer a supportive work environment, professional development opportunities, and a chance to make a real difference in the lives of our students, staff, faculty, and community.

We welcome you to the University Libraries 鈥� whether in person or virtually 鈥� and invite you to take advantage of all we have to offer as you make a lasting impact on the academic community and beyond.
