Subject librarians are connected to each academic program at ASU with the purpose of providing research and instructional support for faculty and students.

  • Provide assistance in developing permanent links to articles and e-books in Canvas
  • Connect you with services for making ASU Libraries video content available in Canvas
  • Recommend options for building and/or reinforcing research skills in assignments

Ways Subject Librarians Assist Students:
