Services for KBS Researchers
The following information applies primarily to KBS specific patrons.
Because the Gull Lake Library is the most remote branch library in the MSU Libraries system, we assist two different types of patrons with services that are suited to their specific needs. KBS Patrons are those faculty and students who are located at the Kellogg Biological Station for an extended period of time to advance their studies or research.
