Are you a master’s or doctoral student? If so, it is likely that you will be conducting research as part of your studies. At some point, you may be writing a thesis, report, or dissertation to record your work to share with the profession and the world. K-State has made available templates (in Microsoft Word and LaTeX) for students to use, in order to ensure that they include all required information in the proper formatting.
“Getting Started with ETDR Templates” is an online training on Zoom from 1-2:30 p.m., Monday, Aug. 30.

Library and IT services are available after a fire on May 22 caused significant smoke and water damage to Hale Library. The building will be closed for the 2018-2019 school year for cleaning and reconstruction. Services have been relocated across campus with updated information available at k-state.edu/hale. While the damage is extensive, we now have the opportunity to rebuild a next-generation library even better than before.
Faculty and staff are encouraged to share the following information with students:
Branch libraries are available in addition to a new Library Help location in the K-State Student Union at the welcome desk near Radina’s.
The IT Help Desk is available on the second floor of the K-State Student Union in the Cat’s Pause Lounge or by phone at 785-532-7722 or chat. Equipment checkout will be available in the same location on Aug. 20.
Students will have $20 of printing on their account for fall semester.
All current periodicals are available in the Math/Physics Library located in Cardwell Hall.
Ask a Librarian services are still fully operational in person, or by phone, email or chat. Contact us with any questions!
The Media Development Center will be located in 1 Seaton Hall.
Use the free Interlibrary Loan service to get books and articles from other libraries. All online library resources are available, but most of the physical collection that was in Hale will not be available during the 2018-2019 school year. Please note: we usually aren’t able to provide textbooks through this service. Stop by any library help desk either at our new Union location or a branch library to get help making a request online.

Today, Sept. 17, the latest release of Apple’s mobile operating system, iOS 8, will be made available. Last year’s iOS 7 update resulted in a 700 percent increase in worldwide network traffic.
