Information for Students

Fall 2017

On behalf of everyone at Kresge Library Services, we would like to welcome you to the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. We are proud to offer students at Ross one of the finest suites of information resources and services available at any business school. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any requests, needs, comments, questions or suggestions on how we can improve library services for the Ross community.

Kresge Library Services are located on the 4th Floor of Kresge Hall (Suite K4521). There you will find student services including reference and research assistance, the Ross Exam Viewing and Assignment Distribution Service, and TEXTPAK pickup service for printed versions of your course materials. Our space was designed to be an electronic-only library, so print items are not available here. Student work space is located elsewhere at Ross including the quiet study spaces on the 4th floor of Blau & the 2nd floor of Kresge.

research project you might be working on.

curricular, creating a business, or even a simple curiosity. We call this the 6Cs!
