​​​​Subject Librarians

Subject librarians offer a variety of services designed to help CMU students, faculty, and staff access information and engage in effective research. For more information see the list below to identify the subject librarian for your area.​

• Research support -- Librarians will answer research questions and will provide in-depth one-on-one research consultations upon request. We are also happy to assist with literature searches, the creation of subject bibliographies, and patent searching.
  
• Instruction -- Instruction in the use of the library and in locating information is available for both face-to-face and online classes. A librarian will work with you to ensure the instruction is tailored to the needs of your class.
  
• Course development -- As new courses are developed and old ones are updated, a librarian will partner with you to identify resources from the library's collections and beyond that will support the learning objectives of your course.
  
• Collection development -- Subject librarians take suggestions for materials purchases that support teaching and research.
• Scholarly communication and support -- Questions about copyright, measuring research impact, author rights, the use of open educational resources, data management, and more can be answered by your subject librarian.
• Program reviews -- Accreditation and academic program reviews typically include a discussion of available library resources and services. Your subject librarian can help with this.
