Leadership: Lorrie Pellack

What we do

We provide instruction and research assistance to the campus community. We teach LIB 160: Introduction to College Level Research and assist faculty in the classroom by guest lecturing on topics such as how to identify, access, and use high-quality information.

We provide individual research assistance in person and online.

We also select books for purchase and maintain the library’s general collection—there's a librarian for every call number!  

Who we are

Research and Instruction consists of Research Services, and the Instruction unit. You can find your librarian by department and topic.

Research Services

This group consists of three discipline specific units - Arts and Humanities, Business and Social Sciences, and Science and Engineering - and our faculty librarians.
