Dr. Cindy Thompson has been appointed Dean of Libraries by UMKC Provost Jennifer Lundgren. Congratulations, Dean Thompson!

Improve your research. Win some coffee. UMKC students enrolled in spring 2022 courses can schedule a meeting with a librarian to discuss their research! We can help you form a research question, plan a literature review, manage your citations, find sources for an assignment, and more.

The UMKC Libraries are excited to welcome Becky Briggs Becker as our new University Archivist.

Noted Kansas City jazz violinist and guitarist Claude “Fiddler” Williams is highlighted in this newest digitized entry in the UMKC Digital Special Collections. The photos range from the 1960s through the 2000s and cover the gamut of Williams career, personal life, and local ties to Kansas City.
