Head of Reference & Instruction, Gould Library

Claudia C. Peterson (She/Her/Ella)

I provide leadership, vision, and strategic direction for the R&I department. My role is to engage in outreach to faculty and students to promote research skills and the teaching of Information Literacy, which is the grounding framework of my work as a reference librarian. In addition to this, I also provide liaison services to Spanish, Latin American Studies and Latin American History. I enjoy working with students in helping them find research information.

Together with a dedicated team of Reference and Instruction Librarians in the Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences and STEM, we ensure excellent service to students and faculty while supporting the curriculum and mission of the college.
