About Montana State University[edit]
Montana State University is one of only 108 institutions - out of 4,600 - designated as "very high research activity" by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of teaching. This means that MSU is among the top 2% of institutions nationwide in research, which translates into significant opportunities for research, scholarship and creative work.

The MSU Library's mission is to facilitate student and faculty success by providing access to information and knowledge. It supports the University’s commitment to teaching and research through its information resources (most of which are electronic), research assistance to students and faculty, and by providing technology-rich learning and study spaces.
