Research and Engagement Librarians (RELs) are dedicated to supporting faculty and staff research and curricular needs. RELs serve as liaisons to specific departments and have expertise in these areas. You can work with your REL to:
- Navigate library resources and services
- Find and use specific information in a wide variety of formats
- Develop search strategies and manage references and citations
- Request materials for the collection to support your research and teaching
- Understand your scholarship impact
- Explore open access publishing
- ...and much more!
Find the REL for your discipline, including their appointment calendar and contact information. You can also visit the Service Desk on the first floor of KSL or chat with us online! Visit Ask KSL for all the ways you can contact the library.
