For Faculty
Personal Research Consultation
Subject librarians are available for research consultation. Set up an appointment to learn more about the library collections, databases, and services available to support your research needs.
The Library Catalog and most database providers have alert services or RSS feeds where faculty can establish a profile of research interests and be notified automatically when a book on the subject is received or when new journal articles are published. Contact your subject librarian for more information.

Subject Librarians are available to come to your classroom and guest lecture on a research or instruction topic of your choice. You can choose to hold your class in the Library Education Room (MLIB 226) with 24 laptop workstations, or arrange for the librarian to come to your Smart Classroom.
