You will be matched with a student library liaison and a personal librarian who will work with you, your customs group and your UCA. Throughout the academic year, your library liaison will be in contact with new resources, timely information and research tips. If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to your library support people.
Subject librarians work with students and faculty in every department and program. They provide one-on-one support of students throughout their college careers, culminating in the senior thesis projects. To arrange a meeting, email the librarian who works with the department related to your topic. See this listing for librarians by subject area. In your message include a sentence or two about your research topic.
Students can get help starting to develop a research question or beginning a search. Those further along can get advice on research tools, answers to specific questions, and new sources.
The librarian drafts research notes ahead of time, adds to them during the meeting, and sends the results to the student. They cover search strategies, research tools, and references to important individual books, journal articles and other pertinent sources.
Subject librarians also make research guides for individual classes and for topics. Browse for information on different subjects. See this introduction to research guides for more information.

Welcome to Haverford College! I am glad for the chance to introduce your new libraries.
You have access to over 800,000 electronic volumes + over 400,000 print volumes along with films, manuscripts, photographs and more through the Tripod library catalog. You also can request many volumes from Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore through Tripod. Use the Haverford libraries' website to learn about services and connect with library staff.
Check out the Quarantine R&R website. This was made in consultation with ISO staff for students to enjoy a change of pace - music, movies, art, the Philadelphia scene and more. Send in your recommendations for the Haverford community.
You will find resources, study spaces, and meeting rooms in Lutnick Library (this main building includes Quaker and Special Collections and the Digital Commons), the White Science Library (found in KINSC, with a small additional astronomy library in the Strawbridge Observatory), and the Union Music Library.
The libraries are your spaces. You can track down sources, learn, study and share ideas. See these views of students in Lutnick Library. The library staff is dedicated to supporting your development as researchers and scholars. Ask us questions and tell us when you run into a problem. We want you to have every opportunity possible to explore, analyze and reach new levels of understanding.
Haverford Libraries fulfill student, faculty, and staff requests for materials. There are no charges for requests nor are there limits on the number of items you can submit. You can use these forms below to enter your requests. Articles and other digital material will be sent to your email address. You will be notified when print copies and other material is ready for you to come and check out.
