Every plebe at USMA gets matched with a Personal Librarian who is available to answer questions, help with papers and research, let you know what’s going on in the library, and connect you with resources.
Personal Librarians are matched with students based on your battalion--find your Personal Librarian below!
We can answer any questions you may have about the Library, or research in particular. Whether you are having difficulty finding a book, coming up with a topic, choosing a database or locating the best sources for a paper, you can call on your personal librarian. No question is too big or small.
Of course, you are not limited to consulting with your Personal Librarian. You are more than welcome to visit the Help Desk on the second floor (located next to the staircase), where there is always a staff member ready to help. Remember - we are never too busy to help you; our mission is your success!
Keep you informed with important email messages highlighting resources and programs.
Answer questions about Library services such as how to find books in the Library, and how to request materials from other libraries.
Assist you with your research assignments by helping you identify the best sources, formulate search strategies, and cite what you use.
Help you when you’re not sure where to start or what to do next.
