Getting Help
There is a dedicated librarian for every discipline at Northwestern. It's our job to support undergraduate research and coursework in our assigned subject areas. I'm the librarian for anthropology, which means I'm the librarian for this class and for anthropology majors. You can use my contact info below to schedule time to meet with me.
As you continue with your undergraduate studies, do not hesitate to reach out to the librarian for your major or for any of your courses. They will be delighted to hear from you. You're also welcome to keep working with me in the future, but your official subject librarian will be more knowledgeable about the resources available in that area.
