Personal Librarians
I’m the Public Services Librarian at the Haas Arts Library, specializing in reference and instruction for art, history of art, architecture, and drama. (Before I was a librarian, I worked in several art museums around the country, so I’m happy to talk about those experiences too.) In other words, I like helping people learn how to find stuff at the library, and I look forward to helping you! Feel free to stop by my office or email me with questions.
How can I help you?
I will:- Keep you informed with periodic e-mail messages highlighting new resources and programs especially for students, as well as notices and timely reminders, such as extended Library hours during Reading Week and finals
- Answer your questionsd about Library policies, procedures and services, such as RefWorks workshops and Borrow Direct
- Assist with finding information for your research assignments, by helping you articulate your research question, identify the best sources and formulate your search strategy
- Support you even when you’re not around (on vacation, or away from Yale doing research)
- Help you when you don’t know where to start, or you can’t think of what to do next
Things I don’t do (but I’ll help you find out who can)
I won’t:- Set up your computer (i.e. NetIDs, VPN)
- Do your research, make photocopies or write your paper for you (well, I won't find someone to write your paper - that part's up to you - but I can put you in touch with The Writing Center or a writing tutor)”
