Subject librarians are available to help with all aspects of library research. We meet with students individually, in classes, and seminars to help students locate and use resources for research.
In addition, we collaborate with faculty to provide instruction on advanced library research methods and sources in preparation for the junior qualifying exam and senior thesis.
At Reed, students should gain an understanding of the nature and organization of information resources and the ability to formulate and carry out library research. Library research competencies build year by year toward an understanding of library research as a process.
