Reference & Instruction Services
more ...
The primary goal of the reference staff of the Oberlin College Library is to serve the information needs of the Oberlin College community by providing the highest quality reference service possible. Our services are designed to assist users in the successful retrieval of information for their curricular and research needs while at Oberlin, and to prepare them to be effective, life-long users of information in its many forms and contexts.
The Library staff recognizes the diverse nature of its learning community and works to enable and encourage all members of our community to participate in library programs and services, access our collections and resources, and benefit from our services.
