Welcome to the Student Learning Services portal! Student Learning Services are three teams of experts working collaboratively with each other and with you to complete course assignments and achieve success. Download our brochure.
In addition to our master’s degrees in Library Science, faculty librarians have additional advanced degrees and experience in other disciplines. Among the many things we can help you with are refining your topic; selecting appropriate resources to consult; building effective search strategies in those database resources; evaluating the results of your searches; and determining how best to incorporate them into your research projects. The Subject Specialists enjoy assisting undergraduate and graduate students as well as faculty and staff in person when the University Libraries is open, by chat or text during business hours via the Ask-A-Librarian box on our homepage, or by personal appointment via phone, Teams, or other mutually agreed upon format.
