The Calder Medical Library now offers a Personal Librarian Program (PLP) to assist medical students during their four years at medical school. The program matches a librarian to each student, providing a personal contact for research and library-related questions. A Personal Librarian is able to recommend resources best suited for individual research needs, instruct students in new technologies and resources, and guide students to specific resources as their research and learning needs change throughout their medical education. This new program began with entering first year medical students during the Fall 2015 Semester.
Your Personal Librarian serves as a single point of contact for the library--a “go-to” person for all things library-related. We can even help with issues that aren’t library-specific. If we don’t know the answer, we’ll try to find out who can address your question.
Your Personal Librarian will contact you several times throughout the year to let you know about new and exciting resources or services in the library. How much or how little you choose to avail yourself of the program is entirely up to you. We’re here for you if, and when, you need us.
Each Academic Society has been assigned a Personal Librarian. Check the photo and contact information for your Personal Librarian below; stop in and say “hello” next time you are in the Library!
