As the intellectual heart of ESU, the University Libraries and Archives is fully integrated and engaged in teaching and learning. Fostering an intellectually open environment to inspire discover and creativity, we cultivate a community of learners and scholars able to adapt and lead. In order to support these learners, the library provides several key services such as interlibrary loan, course reserves, access to the institutions repository, and much more. For more information on library services, please contact the information desk at 620-341-5205.
The Interlibrary Loan/ Document Delivery Department is committed to obtaining materials not owned by the ESU Libraries and Archives and that are needed to support the educational, curricular and research needs of ESU students, faculty and staff.
Course Reserves are course-related PRINT materials made available through the William Allen White Library at an instructor's request. PRINT materials may include books, study guides, old exams, motion pictures and other materials that may be needed by large numbers of students in a particular course.
The Emporia State Institutional Repository Collection is managed by the University Libraries & Archives and provides access to ESU's theses and dissertation electronic collection
The library has an abundant amount of study space available for students and library patrons to access. Study rooms on the 1st Floor can be reserved up to 24 hours in advance. Book your 2-hour slot here.
