The Walter Schroeder Library is committed to providing resources and services that meet the informational, instructional and educational needs of MSOE's community.
The Library
The Walter Schroeder Library is a comfortable, accessible place for the MSOE community to gather and conduct research. We provide areas for quiet study and areas for groups to congregate. We are open late during the school year to accommodate night-owl studiers. A number of laptops are available for use for those with MSOE email accounts, and the entire library is equipped for wireless Internet access. The library has an experienced staff of librarians to assist you with information needs. Also, as you will see, our library collection is top-of-the-line.
