The team of archivists and librarians in Special Collections and University Archives are responsible for providing a variety of services to many different constituents.

“All of our work in the archives is oriented toward serving the needs of our researchers and users,” Anderson said. “Appointments on Monday’s will allow the team to use their time efficiently to prepare collections for use, time to better assist with in-depth reference requests, time to visit or provide course instruction, or time work on exhibits to share with the campus community.”

Over the past year Special Collections and University Archives has been working to provide more “self-service” opportunities to researchers and users. Many paper forms once offered in the Department are now available online. For example, requests for can now be completed online, as can . can now also be completed online and researchers will no long have to fill out a new paper form each year. Because of these new efficiencies researchers can spend more time doing research in the reading room.

Other self-service tools include using the reading room’s high-quality scanner for free. If users don’t want to use the scanner themselves, the Department also offers 10 free scans to users every six months.
