Duke University Libraries Personal Librarian Program
What can your Personal Librarian do for you?
- Keep you informed with periodic e-mail messages highlighting resources and programs, like study breaks and extended Library hours during exam weeks
- Answer your questions about Library services, like borrowing laptops, citing sources, and requesting materials from other libraries
- Assist you with your research assignments by helping you identify the best sources and formulate search strategies
- Connect you with library experts across all subject areas
- Support you even when you’re not on campus—for example if you’re on break
- Help you when you don’t know where to start or can’t think of what to do next!
What is the Personal Librarian Program?
The Personal Librarian Program is designed to introduce first-year students to services and collections available from the Duke University Libraries. Each East Campus dorm will be matched with subject librarians who will work with you throughout your first year at Duke. Your Personal Librarian serves as your individual point of contact for the Libraries. He or she will contact you throughout the year to let you know about events of interest, new services, databases and tools.
Your Personal Librarian is your go-to person for any questions you have about the Libraries in general or about research needs in particular.
