Personal Librarians

Our Personal Librarian program gives library users a personalized and direct link to the library. Academic departments and students are matched with a librarian who serves as their main point of contact for the library - a go-to person for all things library-related. See below for Personal Librarian assignments.

We also provide library instruction, research consultations and online research guides. The Barnard librarians welcome questions from anyone in the Barnard/Columbia community.
