K-State Libraries Information Technology Services provides custom web and application development, platform support, desktop and equipment support, networking, digital automation, and data management for K-State Libraries.

We have partnered with other units, both internal and external to the Libraries, to produce much needed applications. A full-stack development shop, we have built a variety of useful applications that incorporate products from traditional relational and document databases to semi-structured data layers.

A few of our applications include:

• The Verandah Application
• Stacks Guide 2.0
• K-REx Reader
• K-State Libraries Staff Directory
• K-State Libraries GitHub
