Subject Librarians

A Subject Librarian is assigned to each subject area within the College of Art and Sciences, as well as to the College of Business and the College of Education. See the chart below to find your Subject Librarian.

Faculty members are encouraged to contact their liaisons for course-specific library instruction sessions, acquisition of new materials, and general research and reference assistance. Students are encouraged to contact their liaisons for individual and group research and reference assistance.

Faculty Liaisons

Some librarians also serve as Faculty Liaisons due to the specialized nature of their skills. These librarians serve as the point of contact for general and research questions related to a variety of specialized topics. See the chart below to find the Faculty Liaison who can best assist you.
