Our Personal Librarian program gives library users a personalized and direct link to the library. Each first year student, each constellation, 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! Librarians are available on a walk-in basis in 208 Lehman. The optimal time is 2:30 to 6:00pm, Monday to Friday.
Outside of those hours, you can IM us using the chat box on the home page, text us from your mobile phone at 386-BARNARD (386-227-6273), email or call us.
