What is the Residence Hall Librarian Program?
The Residence Hall Librarian Program is designed to introduce first-year students to services and collections available from the Duke University Libraries. Each East Campus dorm is matched with subject librarians who will work with students throughout their first year at Duke. The Residence Hall Librarian serves as an individual point of contact for the Libraries. He or she will contact students throughout the year to provide information about events of interest, new services, research databases and information tools.
The Residence Hall Librarian is a first-year student's go-to person for any questions about the Libraries in general or about research needs in particular.
