Subject Librarians (or Liaisons)


Ever wonder who you would talk to about making purchase suggestions for your department or major? Need a librarian to teach your class about using the library, or you want to direct your students to the appropriate librarian for your discipline? Not sure who you should consult for research help pertaining to a specific discipline? Then you’ve reached the right page! This is the subject librarians page – it outlines what services the reference librarians can provide and which departments/disciplines for which they are liaisons.

Subject liaisons can…
  • Receive and process recommendations for purchases - books, periodicals, or electronic resources (such as databases)
  • Conduct tours of the library for classes
  • Conduct bibliographic instruction (sometimes called “library sessions”) for classes. These classes can be tailored to specific assignments or classes, or can be overviews of the Library’s resources
  • Help develop research assignments
  • Assist with and collaborate on research
Every department on campus has a subject librarian – check the list below to see who is and how to contact your librarian, or click here to browse by subject. Please feel free to contact us! We're here to help! If you're unsure who to ask, just Ask A Librarian.
