Subject Specialists

The Subject Specialists Program provides faculty and students with a personal contact to whom library-related issues and questions may be addressed. The list is arranged by campus to facilitate face-to-face communication, but faculty and students are welcome to contact liaisons with subject expertise regardless of the campus where they work. If you do not see your subject area or discipline represented, or have any other questions, please contact:
