Here at KU Libraries, we are fortunate enough to be uniquely positioned at the crossroads of the educational process, bringing together the resources and expertise that KU students and faculty need to succeed.


The Official Sponsor of Inspiration

With seven libraries across two campuses, it’s easy for students to find the support they need to excel in the classroom, practice room or studio. At the Murphy Art & Architecture Library, for example, librarians offer expert guidance, exposing the next generation of artists, designers, architects and art history scholars to a wealth of rare, world-class resources. Our blend of collaborative spaces and one-on-one encouragement form the perfect primer for inspired creative and scholarly exploration — and you won’t even get your hands messy.
