New Major?
You just chose your major...did you know you also just chose your librarian? Every major has a librarian associated with it. This is the person who buys books, journals, and other scholarly materials to support research and teaching in your field. This is also the first person you should go to for research strategies and assistance, help researching graduate schools, advice about the best restaurants in town, or any other information needs you may have. Your Sophomore Summer is a great time to get to know your librarian. Want to find your librarian?
