NMSU Library Resources


NMSU Libraries provide access to many non-fiction books dealing with specialized and academic topics. They also have a large collection of scholarly journals (Branigan's periodicals are limited primarily to popular newspapers and magazines.) Many of the articles in NMSU's journals can be downloaded through full-text links in electronic databases.

NMSU is also a federal depository library for government documents and houses the Rio Grande Historical Collections, the Hobson-Huntsinger University Archives and Special Collections.
