No matter what your needs, the UMKC Libraries are here to help! To get familiar with the Libraries and all of the resources offered, check out one of our video tours. Currently, we have three videos available that take you through the Marr Sound Archives, LaBudde Special Collections, and one that provides a good overview of how the library can help in academic pursuits which we created with international students in mind. More videos are in the works, so stay tuned for more of an inside look at the UMKC Libraries!
