Faculty
As a faculty member, the library supports your research and teaching. Each department has a subject librarian who can provide subject-specific and course-specific library instruction, create an effective library research assignment for your class, and assist you with your own research. Each department has a Departmental Library Faculty Representative, whose role is to encourage and facilitate communications between an academic department and the Libraries.
