Reference Librarians: About Us

As Subject Librarians, we each have a Masters degree in library science, and we:  

  • Reference: answering questions in-person in the Consult room, by chat, phone or e-mail
  • Research: more in depth assistance - set up a research appointment(s) in person, on Zoom, or with Starfish
  • Instruction: we work closely with faculty to teach in their classrooms (in-person or online) as well as in the library

        We also make sure that our departments have access to books, journals, DVDs and other resources that they need!

Some librarians do not have specific subject areas, but are always available to help. They include:

  • Karlene Clark (your supervisor!)
  • Staff in DISS (the library's IT on 2nd floor)
  • Curt Hanson in Special Collections
  • Administrative offices - don't forget Laura Egan in Collection Development and Dean Rebecca
