Subject Librarians

Subject Librarians assist with in-depth research in their subject areas, perform research instruction at faculty request, and have collection development responsibilities for their areas. Contact your Subject Librarian for any of the following reasons:

  • To schedule library instruction sessions for your classes 
  • To develop subject specific Research Guides
  • To request additions to the collections
  • For reference questions and research assistance

Feel free to refer your students to the Subject Specialists as well. A full listing of Subject Librarians can be found online.
