We hope you'll refer to the library and librarians in your syllabus or Moodle site as resources for your students. The blurb below was written with First-Year Writing Seminars and introductory courses in mind. Please customize as you see fit, or work with your liaison librarian to develop text that's relevant for your assignment, course, or department.
Research Help from Librarians
As a Vassar student, you have access to fantastic library collections: books and scholarly journals, current and historical newspapers, government information, video and audio recordings, musical scores, rare or unique archival materials, and more. Exploring these collections for your research can be exciting and inspiring--but it can sometimes feel overwhelming, too. Vassar’s librarians are here to help you navigate the many resources and services that are available to you, so that you can enjoy all that our libraries have to offer. Librarians can assist you at any stage of the research process, including developing your topic, finding relevant materials, conducting effective searches in databases, creating an annotated bibliography, and citing your sources.
