Personal Librarian Program

Personal Librarians provide students with help in discovering all of the resources the library has to offer. Each student has a personal librarian that can provide them with access to various resources. They serve as the main point of contact for all things library-related. 

A Personal Librarian can:

• Answer any questions about library resources and services
• Develop a research topic and/or refine a topic
• Develop research strategies to effectively search
• Evaluate information 
• Find specific resources (books, articles, videos)
• Navigate the library's databases and other digital resources
• Keep you informed about any library news, events, and workshops
• Provide research consultation 
• Connect you with other UTEP resources on campus 

A Personal Librarian will not:

• Check your citations
• Edit your paper
• Print documents for you
• Contact a department for you
