Who Are the Staff at Lane Medical Library and What Can They Help With?

Updated

Lane Medical Library lists its staff by name, pronouns, and role, so you can match your question to the right person or team. The roster covers research and instruction, medical education, access and collection services, resource management, digital strategy, and library administration. If you are unsure who to contact, start with the role that most closely matches your task — for example, a research question goes to a research and instruction librarian, while a course reserves issue goes to the course reserves coordinator.

Practical notes

The staff list is published on the Lane Medical Library website alongside the library's top resources, classes, and events. If your question spans more than one area — for example, access to a database plus help using it — the research and instruction team is a reasonable first stop, since they can route you to access services or electronic resources if needed.
