Guides to Using the OSU Libraries

The Oklahoma State University Library has created a number of informational guides to provide quick access to information about the campus libraries and their services. These are designed to give a quick overview of the services available to you in the Edmon Low Library as well as in the branch libraries. You can find a selection of these guides in the bins on the first floor of the Edmon Low Library, or you can print on demand by opening the PDFs available here.

NOTE: The guides below are available as HTML and PDF (portable document format) files. If you are accessing this page from your own computer, you will need to have the Adobe Acrobat software installed to view PDF files. The Adobe Acrobat® software is available free by going to the Adobe Web Site.
