Personal Librarians

At Barnard Library and Academic Information Services (BLAIS) our Personal Librarian program gives library users a more personalized and direct link to the library.

Each first year student and each academic department is matched with a librarian who serves as their main point of contact for the library - a "go-to" person for all things library-related.  Of course, all the Barnard librarians welcome questions from anyone in the Barnard/Columbia community!
