Graduate Writers Have a Home at UMKC Libraries

Graduate students are some of the most avid users of the UMKC Libraries’ spaces. Graduate writers can find a space in any of the university’s libraries to spread out with their laptops and get down to business:

  • The newly-furnished, expansive study space in the Health Sciences Library (located in the School of Medicine Building)
  • The seats among the stacks of tomes in the Leon E. Bloch Law Library (in the School of Law)
  • The natural light and quiet corners of the Dental Library (housed in the School of Dentistry)
  • One of the many spaces in the Miller Nichols Library (found at the heart of Volker campus) which range from quiet and contemplative to active and collaborative

But the Libraries’ provide resources beyond just space to help graduate writers. Of course, the libraries have books and articles, but the most important library resource for graduate writers is people.

And all of these people at the library – what do they do to help graduate writers? More than you think:

Inquiry leads to research which leads to writing. Writing leads to discussion and further inquiry. Scholarship is a cycle, and as a graduate student, you may be at the very beginning or perhaps you are somewhere further along. No matter where you find yourself, the people of UMKC Libraries are here to support you on your quest. Don’t be a stranger: ask a librarian.
