The Research and Education division provides services to students and faculty in direct support of their research, learning, teaching, and creative endeavors.

Services are delivered through consultation, workshop, online, one-on-one, and in the classroom.


Librarians

We are organized into disciplinary cohorts (arts, humanities and social sciences, and sciences) to help faculty, students, and researchers navigate the current and complex information landscape.
