The Department of University Libraries provides instruction and resources for student learning, in and outside of the classroom. Subject specialist librarians are available in every academic area to help students complete research assignments for specific courses, and to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to be information-literate, life-long learners. Students can meet with library faculty without an appointment during research help desk hours (in-person or virtually), or schedule times for more in-depth research consultations. Many academic courses also include instruction sessions with library faculty. Librarians also oversee the physical and virtual resources in the University Libraries’ collection, designed to support research and learning in all departments and majors, and create guides to resources that students can access on the University Library webpage.
