Reference Librarians

Reference librarians are an important part of the Learning Commons and Library Services. They help interpret information, evaluate content, find the right resources, and give recommendations for any sort of academic projects and coursework.

Additionally they are knowledgeable about library resources, such as databases and libguides, and they work to promote information literacy to students, faculty, and staff. Seeing a librarian will help further develop your research and work skills.  


All the reference librarians, who function as liaisons to different academic departments, have their offices on this floor.
