Personal Librarian Program for New Students

All new AU undergraduate, graduate, and transfer students have been assigned their very own Personal Librarian to be their go-to person for all their research needs as they start out at Alfred.

Librarians have been assigned according to students' School/College/Major.

Each new student will receive a packet with a letter and trading card from their librarian, including information about their librarian's unique persona that captures the essence of their specialized library skills.

Please encourage your students to seek out and get to know their Personal Librarian!
