Your Very Own Librarian

All transfer students are matched with a Personal Librarian. The goal of the Personal Librarian Program is to be the first point of library contact for transfer students. Personal Librarians will reach out to their transfer students approximately three times a semester for their first year at UW, and students are encouraged to contact their Personal Librarians at any point of their UW journey with library-related questions. 

Things you can ask your Personal Librarian:

  • How to find items in the library and online.

  • How to use the library's collections. 

  • Help with research assignments.

  • Library services and spaces. 

  • And pretty much anything else that is related to the library and its connected services! 

Personal Librarians are here for YOU without judgment or reservations. They will help connect you to resources and people in the library and across campus.
