Librarian Services
These are just some of the services your subject librarians can provide.
Research Services
Consult with faculty and students about their research needs. Advise and instruct them about the library tools and specialized services that meet those needs.
Teaching and Learning
Collaborate with colleagues within and beyond the libraries on delivering, planning, and assessing strategic and effective instruction and learning materials.
Outreach
Serve as liaison to faculty, students, and the community beyond Washington University. Identify, meet, and facilitate ongoing communication about users’ resource and service needs.
Collection Development
Develop, maintain, and manage distinct collections. Support research and instruction by offering resources in relevant formats and languages.
Exhibitions and Events
Promote library services and collections to departments or programs. Assist in executing exhibitions and special events.
Research Data
Maintain a working knowledge of issues that arise during the research data lifecycle: conceptualization, analysis, visualization, management, sharing, and curation. Assist in identifying applicable tools.
Scholarly Communication
Inform and educate our community about scholarly communications, including open-access publishing, public access practices, and options for publishing and sharing research.
