About Us
The William C. Gast Business Library is located in Room 50 of the Law College Building across from the Eppley Center. It is the largest of the branches at MSU Libraries and has three business librarians, two support staff and approximately twenty-five student employees.
The library provides seating for 450 and has wireless access as well as Internet connections at most tables, carrels and cubicles. There are group study rooms available, as well as cubicles for group use. Laser printing, including color, is available from the computers or laptops through e-token accounts. Room 22 serves as an instruction and computer lab with 24 seats. The branch is open 109 hours each week during the fall and spring semesters. The Library serves the Broad College of Business and the School of Human Resources and Labor Relations.
Areas of strength in the Human Resources and Labor Relations collection include labor and employment law and grievance arbitration. Unique among its holdings is the Michigan Public Sector Agreement Collection. It is also the designated repository for MERC public sector fact-finding reports and the police and fire compulsory interest arbitration awards provided for by Public Act 312 (1969).
