First Year Students' Guide to UW Libraries

Welcome to the UW Libraries Personal Librarian Program!

We are happy to welcome you to the Cowboy family and are here to support you throughout your First Year Student journey. Your personal librarian will check in with you a few times during the semester to see if you need any assistance with your research projects. Feel free to ask your librarian about anything and everything library-related. 

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 and will help connect you to resources and experts in the library and across campus.
