The MSU Authors Collection is an important part of the Memorial Library's holdings because the works in this collection document the intellectual heritage of the university and the contributions of MSU faculty, staff, students, and alumni to contemporary scholarship.
On Wednesday, April 30, 2008, MSU Library Services hosted the first campus-wide authors' reception. This event honored 33 faculty authors (including 5 faculty emeriti) who wrote and/or edited books with publication dates between January 2006 and March 2008.
