New Student Resources: Personal Librarian

What is a Personal Librarian?

Personal Librarians are here to help you take full advantage of all the Libraries has to offer. Our goal is to personally connect you with the library services you need to be academically successful.

Personal Librarians are assigned to all new undergraduate students, including transfers.

If you have any questions about the Personal Librarian program or are unsure who your Personal Librarian is, please contact Laura Birkenhauer at crosbylm@miamioh.edu or Nate Floyd at floydns@miamioh.edu.
