What is the Personal Librarian Program?
The Personal Librarian (PL) Program is designed to introduce students entering Yale College to the collections and services of the Yale University Library. Upon matriculation, each freshman will be matched with a research librarian who will help with any academic work involving the Library and its collections, study spaces and/or staff. Students typically work more frequently with their Personal Librarians during their freshman and sophomore years. Once a student declares a major they will begin working with a Subject Specialist who will help with relevant assignments through completion of the senior year.
