Research, Engagement, and Scholarly Communications

Overview

The Research, Engagement, and Scholarly Communications (RESC) division includes seven teams. We have three teams of subject librarians for Humanities, International Area Studies, and Sciences and Social Sciences. In addition to providing services for faculty and students, the work of the subject librarians includes both Collection Management and Instruction and Engagement, and the leaders of these teams provide overall programmatic oversight for these areas. The Scholarly Communications Office provides specialized services for faculty and students by managing open access repositories and providing expertise on copyright and research data management. The Assessment and User Experience team supports assessment and user-centered design in order to make incremental and data-driven improvements in library services, both online and in person.
