Kinesiology (Graduate Students)

This is a guide to services and tools available via K-State Libraries.  I am available to assist with your research needs at any step in the research process from idea formulation through to publication.  I offer one-on-one consultations either in person or via Zoom. You can email me  or check my online schedule. You can also contact Research Help services during the library Help Desk hours.
