Library Research Guide
Post Graduation
After graduation, students lose access to the library resources, like electronic journals and database, that K-State pays for them to access. However, state and local libraries also provide access to databases, interlibrary loan, and some journals. Investigate your local and state libraries if you are having difficulties accessing the scientific literature.
