Consultation with Subject Librarians:

Your Subject Librarian can assist you by:

• alerting you to new resources in your discipline
• showing you how to use current awareness tools to help you stay current in your field.
• suggesting search strategies and resources for your research
• purchasing materials relevant to your research. 

Suggest a book to purchase or contact your subject librarian for further information.
