As you progress through your academic career, you will find that you need more discipline-focused research. To meet that need, OU Libraries creates discipline-specific research guides, so you know which resources are best for your purposes. OU's librarians also focus their work in particular subject areas -- so while any librarian can help you with general research, you can seek out specific librarians for discipline-specific questions.
A good starting point for any discipline-specific research is to use the course and subject guides available through the main menu on OU Libraries website:
These pages are created and maintained by subject librarians (more on them later!) -- they contain information on and links to resources that are most useful for a specific course or a subject area, as well as the contact information for the subject librarian.
Figuring out the subject librarian for a discipline is easy: the Subject Librarians page on the OU Libraries website -- and seen below -- lists all librarians by subject and by librarian name. Librarians' names are linked to their personal pages, where you can contact them via email or set up an appointment.
