Accessibility

The MSU Libraries' Accessibility Statement

The MSU Libraries are committed to providing equal access to all library collections, services, and digital and physical spaces. Where we do not achieve accessibility, we welcome all accommodation requests and feedback

The Libraries follow MSU’s Digital Accessibility Policy & Technical Guidelines.

Some technology in the DSL may involve changes in lighting, sound, and temperature, which can cause dizziness, motion sickness, nausea, or discomfort. If you experience any discomfort, please leave the area or alert DSL staff.

If you need assistance, accommodations, or have suggestions on how we can make our technology and services more accessible, please contact the MSU Libraries’ accessibility team at lib.dl.accessibility@msu.edu or visit the DSL Desk.
