Welcome to the guide to finding your library expert.
There are five pages to choose from: Librarians, a full catalog of research librarians; Medical Librarians, for School of Medicine students;
Data, Tech and Tools, for experts in data, Makerspace, and creative technologies; Collections and Archives, for special collections and archival work;
Library Borrowing, for course reserves and Interlibrary Loan support.
Let's take a closer look at how these pages work. Use the Show or Hide Filters dropdown to open the filter panel.
Select what you need with the subject and course buttons.
You can click multiple, then hit Apply Filters.
For best results, use one filter at a time.
Matching librarian cards will appear with contact information and a button to schedule an appointment.
When you click Schedule Appointment, you'll choose whether you want to meet in person or virtually.
Pick a location from the dropdown. Select a date and time and then fill out a short form.
Use Reset Filters to start fresh. And if no one matches, you'll see a reminder to adjust your choices.
That's it! Explore the tabs, filter by your needs, and connect with the right library expert.
Remember, our experts are here to help.
Whether you're starting a project, stuck in the middle, or polishing your final work, don't hesitate to reach out.
And we look forward to working with you.
