Liaison Program

Personal Librarian Services to Penn State Hershey Medical & Graduate Students

The George T. Harrell Health Sciences Library is introducing a Personal Librarian program as part of the Library Liaison Program.  The Personal Librarian will assist the First Year Medical and Graduate students (starting with incoming students August, 2008) up until the day they graduate.  The Personal Librarian may assist you in the following ways:

• Assist with finding information on the variety of topics you will be covering in your classes.
• The George T. Harrell Health Sciences Library provides access to many online books and journals.  Please visit the E Resources page to fully appreciate the Library’s print and online collections.  The Personal Librarian may assist with navigating the Harrell Gateway. 
• Assist with choosing the correct databases or resources as well as composing a proper search strategy.

The goal of the Personal Librarian Services is to enable easier access to information for Medical and Graduate students without being invasive.

If you need more information or want to know who your Personal Librarian is, please contact Nic Cecchino at ncecchino@hmc.psu.edu.
