The Team, the Knowledge, the Mission

No one does it better than the incredible nine

When it comes to helping students, faculty and staff with research needs,
no one does it better than the research librarians - one of the Library’s
most valuable assets.

There are nine incredible research librarians with a depth of knowledge
that makes them experts in their subject area. These people are more
than librarians they are key players at the library - assisting individuals at
all levels with curriculum and research assignments, providing advanced
research consultations in dozens of subject areas, managing collection
development, providing research instruction and reference information.
They teach students at all levels how to make the best use of library
resources. They can also help you design research strategies, access key
databases and effectively use TCU Library’s vast information resources.

This year’s campaign, Research...It’s Not Greek to Us!, has grabbed the
attention of the TCU community, especially students. To build awareness
and promote our librarians, posters have been displayed across campus,
information posted on our social media sites and of course the all time
favorite, word of mouth. We are not surprised to find that our librarians
rank pretty high among the students, faculty and TCU community:

Cari Alexander: Music/Media
Brenda Barnes: Government Documents
Diana Boerner: Business, Economics, Journalism & Strat Comm and
Ranch Management
Jeff Bond: Science & Engineering;
Ammie Harrison: Humanities & Theatre
Robyn Reid: Social Sciences
Laura Ruede: Dance
Alysha Sapp: Nursing & Health Sciences
Laura Steinbach: Art & Design

Special Collections Reading Room Has
Temporarily Moved

During the major renovation project of the Mary Couts Burnett Library, the Special Collections reading room has moved to a
temporary location. You can find us in Room 219A through August 2015.

Special Collections is operational during the renovation, however, we strongly encourage researchers to contact us via e-mail,
LibSpecialCollections@tcu.edu or by phone at 817-257-7108 prior to your visit.

NOTE: The Jim Wright Papers, Amon G. Carter Papers and other collections have been moved off-site during the renovation.
Requests for materials stored off-site are required in advance of research visits so staff can retrieve in a timely manner.
