Students: check your college seminar name to find your librarian.
Personal Librarians work with students to find and use the information resources-- books, databases, journals, websites, etc-- available at Drew. We provide personalized help, assisting students to become savvy and skilled users of information and research.
Your Personal Librarian will contact you occasionally throughout the year to let you know about new databases and tools, library tips, and research methods and strategies. You are also encouraged to contact your Personal Librarian with any questions you have about your research or the Library. How often you choose to avail yourself of your Personal Librarian is entirely up to you.
If you have questions about Personal Librarians, contact Jody Caldwell, the head of Reference.
