Reference

Reference offers numerous services to students, faculty, and staff including general reference (via phone, chat and email as well as in person). Instruction librarians teach information literacy in credit course and as guest lecturers in other courses. Reference librarians design a variety of print, online and video-based instructional materials for course-related research.
