Library tours during orientation weeks

Get to know us and the KU libraries! We will give you an overview of our locations, show you where and how to find which books and other resources and give you an introduction to using the library.

On a short tour of each location you will learn more about the subjects, the technical equipment, the work facilities in the reading room, our stock of media, lending, returns and other services of the University Library.
