What is a Class Librarian?

The Class Librarians are a special group of librarians dedicated to helping College students navigate the enormous range of resources and services available at the University of Chicago Library. Each Librarian serves a specific class of The College, starting during the summer before Orientation until Graduation (and beyond).

You can feel free to contact your Class Librarian with any question you may have about using the Library, such as:

  • How can I find books on reserve for a class?
  • What database should I search to find articles for my paper?
  • How do I cite a resource in my paper?
  • Who can I speak to about a problem with my Library account?

In addition, your Class Librarian has created a Library guide designed specifically for your Class. This guide includes links to research guides and tutorials, as well as an "FYI" section, which includes weekly reminders about upcoming due dates, services, special events, and training sessions. To begin, just select your class to the left, and get to know your Class Librarian. They are a great resource!
